Find a School Place

We are delighted that you are considering a Laidlaw Schools Trust Academy for your child.

Our Academies are vibrant, nurturing and ambitious learning communities where every child is supported to reach their full potential.

We strongly encourage you to visit our schools before applying, so you can see for yourself why our pupils thrive academically, socially and creatively. Many schools hold open days, so keep an eye on their websites or social media for upcoming dates, or contact the school directly to arrange a visit. While all applications are submitted through your Local Authority, visiting the school is the best way to experience what makes an LST Academy so special.

Nursery

Thanks to the generous support of the Laidlaw Foundation, we offer free 30-hour early years education for all children. This ensures every child gets the best possible start in life, develops essential skills and is fully “reception ready” as they move into the next phase of their education. Many of our primary schools offer nursery provision and further details and application instructions can be found on each school’s website.
