The United Church Schools Trust (UCST) is a leading education charity in the UK. Founded in 1883, UCST has a long and distinguished tradition in the provision of independent education and boarding. UCST operates 11 fee-paying independent schools across the UK.
Our subsidiary charity the United Learning Trust (ULT) was established in 2002 and is now the largest single sponsor of academies - independently managed specialist state schools. We have 17 ULT academies in areas with some of the worst deprivation index scores in the country. Our state-of-the-art academies are free of charge to attend and welcome students regardless of faith, background or ability.
