About Company The GORSE Academies Trust educates and supports over 10,000 students across Leeds.

Our central mission is to ensure that we play a significant role in removing the stubborn link between poverty and academic underperformance.

Consequently, our students and our professionals are in the vanguard of the national drive which seeks to provethat where teaching is excellent, leadership inspiring, and behaviour standards exemplary, all children excel regardless of background.

We aim to challenge the underperformance of other schools and academies through the excellence of our own work.

In particular, we have sought to do this through taking advantage of the free schools programme and our trust will continue to look to developnew schools and to sponsor already existing schools in areas of significant educational underperformance.

We believe that all great organisations have a role to play in agitating the system.
