An Introduction to UKFast Dean Trust Manchester

We also know that every child deserves a quality education and access to the skills that they need to thrive in the working world.

UKFast Core Values
About the Dean Trust
By January 2017 The Dean Trust will comprise eight schools and academies in both the primary and secondary sectors.
Our aim is to ensure that all of our schools are at least ‘Good’ with an aspiration for all to be ‘Outstanding’. This is what our parents rightly expect.
The Dean Trust currently operates in three Local Authorities; Manchester, Trafford and Knowsley and this provides a rich cultural mix as well as an opportunity to learn from the best in each area.
All of our schools and academies are part of their local community and have a real sense of identity. We expect the highest possible standards and we always look to ‘level-up’ to our best school.
About Academies
Academies are publicly funded autonomous independent local schools. Academies benefit from greater freedoms to innovate and raise standards.
The increase in operational autonomy covers aspects such as teaching and learning, and the operation of school business such as delivery of contracted services.
The effectiveness of the federation leadership and management in embedding ambition and driving improvement is outstanding.
