Overview

The Laurus Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), committed to providing exceptional academic education to its family of schools across Stockport, Manchester, Tameside, and Cheshire East. Schools under the Laurus Trust consistently achieve outstanding results through a relentless pursuit of excellence and a dedication to student success.

Cheadle Hulme High School is the founding school of the Laurus Trust. The school was rated ‘Outstanding’ in its last Ofsted inspection and regularly features in the The Times and The Sunday Times Parent Power listing. The Trust’s commitment to excellence is evident not only at its founding school, but also in the outstanding achievements of Laurus Ryecroft, Laurus Cheadle Hulme, Didsbury High School, and Gorsey Bank Primary School – all receiving the top rating from Ofsted in their most recent inspections.

The Laurus Trust is continually growing, managing a comprehensive network of five primary schools, six high schools, and four Sixth Forms. Our most recent additions came in September 2024. We welcomed Hazel Grove Primary School to our family, and we saw the opening of Crown Street Primary School, the first new primary school in Manchester City Centre in nearly two decades.

There are three core principles at the Laurus Trust, which lead a culture of academic and enriching excellence to cultivate students to not just be academically strong, but also to become well developed individuals. This commitment extends to our employees as well. The Laurus Institute delivers professional development, ensuring each member of staff has the tools and knowledge to excel with their own professional learning.
