The Chelmsford Learning Partnership (CLP) is a successful and established multi-academy trust based  in Springfield, Chelmsford. There are currently 8 schools across Essex in the CLP multi academy trust. The schools in the CLP are: Barnes Farm Infant School, Barnes Farm Junior School, Lakelands  Primary School, Perryfields Infant School, Roding Valley High School, The Beaulieu Park School,  The Boswells School and The Tyrrells Primary School. Our vision for our schools is a simple one. 

We believe that, as a collective of schools, we are stronger  together and that by working together we provide an outstanding education for every child in our family  of schools. We also believe it is important for schools in our trust to keep their individual identity and all our schools  operate with their own autonomous Headteachers, Leadership teams, staff and Local Governing  Bodies; each with their own ethos that makes every school in our trust unique. 

 As a trust, we employ 550 staff and there are over 4,500 students in our schools.
