Sponsors

The Academy has two sponsors, the United Learning Trust (ULT) and Manchester Church of England Diocese, both of whom make an invaluable contribution to the successes of Salford City Academy. 

United Learning Trust (ULT)

ULT was established to create a family of academies that provide outstanding education.  It was formed in 2002 as a subsidiary of the United Church Schools Trust (UCST) which has been running high quality independent schools in the UK for more than 125 years.  ULT offers the stability of an organisation with a long term commitment to education in this country and the experience to run successful schools.

ULT is the largest single sponsor of academies in the UK.  Its academies are inclusive and welcoming schools, where students of all faiths, backgrounds and abilities are valued and respected.

Manchester Church of England Diocese

The predecessor school for the Academy was Canon Williamson C of E Voluntary Aided High School.

The Manchester Diocese is pleased to be in partnership with the ULT in setting up Salford City Academy.

The Diocese has a strong network of support for its schools and will continue to resource the academy as one of the family of Church of England schools.

The Bishops of the Diocese and the Chair of the Diocesan Board of Education have a close association with the education of all the students in the area.
