Director of Primary Education

The Rowan Learning Trust was established as a Multi-Academy Trust in 2012 to maximise the potential of all children, students and adults in our schools and to support them on their journey to become outstanding.

The Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) was established following highly successful school-to-school support over a number of years and across a large number of schools in Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas. Our support is based on the belief that educational professionals should help each other to develop and further improve so that the life chances of the children and students we educate will be the best they can be.

Currently the Rowan Learning Trust (RLT) family comprises nine schools: three high schools, an all-through alternative provision academy and five primary schools. Together, we share a set of common values:

• Mutual respect
• Fairness
• Equality of opportunity
• Individual growth
• Kindness

The RLT has aspirations to continue to grow; not for the sake of growth, but to extend our positive influence to a wider group of young people and adults. However, we are selective in our growth plan. We wish to join with people who share our values and ethos to extend our family, share expertise and support each other on each school’s journey to become outstanding. The match has to be right and the collaborative working has to be of the highest possible quality.
