The Co-op Academies Trust is one of the largest Multi-Academy Trusts in the north of England, operating 39 academies (Primary, Secondary, and Special Schools) across the North of England and 1 college (no uniform requirements) with students ranging from 4 to 19 years of age. Founded on co-operative values, the Trust is seeking to appoint a single, high-volume supplier for the provision of a new, standardised Trust-Wide Uniform.

Our new strategic plan for 2025-2030 available on our website provides additional information on “who we are” and about our ambition and priorities in the short to medium term.
