SEND – Local Offer.  All North Yorkshire schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). They are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, whatever their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. The Local Authority publishes its Local Offer which provides information for children and young people with special educational needs (SEND) and their parents or carers in a single place.  Find out more by clicking here.

Moorlands Learning Trust

About our trust

Moorlands Learning Trust was formed on 1 July 2017 when Ilkley Grammar School converted from a single academy trust to a multi-academy trust. The Skipton Academy became our first partner academy in 2019, followed by the addition of Ashlands Primary School, Burley Oaks Primary School, Eastburn Primary School, Menston Primary School and Nidderdale High School during 2023/24. In 2025, Benton Park School and Talbot Primary School became our first schools in Leeds to join the Trust. On 1 September 2026, Ben Rhydding Primary School joined as our tenth school, further strengthening our family of schools across West and North Yorkshire.
