Why The People’s Learning Trust?

At The People’s Learning Trust, we offer a unique and transformative opportunity for schools to join a collaborative, inclusive, and forward-thinking network. Rooted in the values of the wider Everton family, we are committed to helping young people and their families overcome challenges, achieve positive outcomes, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Our trust benefits from strong partnerships with Everton Football Club (EFC) and Everton in the Community (EitC). EitC’s mission to use sport as a tool for social change aligns seamlessly with our inclusive, trauma-informed, and attachment-aware approach to education. Together, we deliver innovative, personalised curricula supported by local stakeholders, industry partners, and higher education institutions. This collaborative model ensures that every student is equipped with the foundational literacies, character qualities, and competencies they need for success in the 21st century.

We are keen to work with like-minded schools that share our ethos and values, where relationships, creativity, and community are at the heart of education. Founder Schools in our trust have already demonstrated the power of working together to support students with complex needs, move support upstream for families, and share resources and expertise.

With our unparalleled connection to EFC, access to cutting-edge research, and a commitment to strategic and holistic support for students and staff, we are uniquely positioned to transform education. By joining The People’s Learning Trust, you become part of an exciting journey to create lasting change and deliver the best possible outcomes for children and their families.
