Come together: what you can expect from Together Learning Trust.

Choosing a trust for your school to join is a big decision. Which trust fits your ethos best? Who has the right expertise to help your school’s specific challenges? Should you pick a large multi academy trust with proven but rigid systems or a smaller trust where you are more of a partner? What choice will lead to the best outcomes for your children?

As a trust, we are driven by the belief that when schools collaborate, incredible things happen, and this is hardwired into our structure. Magical schools are created by exceptional teachers, and we harness and nurture their expertise to benefit all of our children and young people.

Whilst we believe that great people power great schools, this can only happen within effective systems which enable staff to flourish. Success is achieved via our highly effective structures, processes, QA, culture, leadership and good governance.

We welcome any school into Together Learning Trust which shares our values and vision of how to create magical schools. We’re not on an aggressive mission to expand, but are growing organically into a group of flourishing, open and like-minded schools. Our schools retain their individual identities and culture, and school leaders help shape the shared approach that is key to school development. We want to be challenged to improve, and the key to this is honest, open communication.

Ultimately, it is the relationships you develop with the people in the trust team which will determine where your school will flourish. We invite you to get in touch with us and begin that conversation.

Why choose Together Learning Trust?

Our future isn’t somewhere we get to. It’s somewhere we get to create - together.
