Methodist Independent Schools Trust is one of three trusts operating under the Methodist Schools banner, alongside the Methodist Academies and Schools Trust and Epworth Education Trust. It forms part of a network of Methodist Church affiliated schools across England and Wales, covering independent education from primary age through to A-level. The trust supports schools that combine academic teaching with a Christian ethos, pastoral care, sport, arts and cultural activities. Its registered SIC codes cover pre-primary, primary and general secondary education, along with sports and recreation education, consistent with running independent day and boarding schools rather than a single institution.
