Steven Baker OBE FCCT

Chief Executive Officer, The People's Learning Trust

It is an honour to be the CEO of The People's Learning Trust and we are proud to be part of the Everton family; our approach to study, and our learner experience, truly embraces the philosophy of Everton Football Club who have provided such tremendous support to us. Our direct association with Everton Football Club both motivates, and inspires, our journey of success. Our working premise is “That will do, won’t do. For us, it is the best or nothing.” This aligns with the mission statement of Everton Football Club, ‘Nil Satis Nisi Optimum’ and is our place holder as we work with our Founder Schools and all stakeholders to develop a new mission statement, vision and values for our Trust.

Our Mission Statement

We are committed to creating a compassionate, collaborative, and innovative environment where inclusivity, trust, positive relationships, and a love of learning empower individuals to excel and contribute positively to our global community.

What is unique about our trust

At The People’s Learning Trust, we believe that people are stronger together; at their best when they can welcome diversity and use differences to bring about positive change. A key part of our role is to bring people together, promote positive communication, increase understanding and tolerance, promote trust, build relationships, and help make life better for those with whom we have contact.

In addition to our links with Everton Football Club, we are proud of our partnership with Everton in the Community which is one of the UK’s top sporting charities. Their work dovetails perfectly with our own as we strive to provide our learners with the best possible educational outcomes whilst simultaneously tackling social issues. We believe passionately that The People’s Learning Trust’s wider network, with the links to Everton Football Club and Everton in the Community, through our common values, brand and reputation, can contribute significantly to helping young people in achieving positive educational outcomes. The highest expectations, an inclusive approach, a commitment to safeguarding and a determination to cultivate success for young people are at the heart of everything we do.
