Wandle Learning Trust was founded in 2018 by Mark Siswick and Christian Kingsley, the leaders of Chesterton Primary School and Chestnut Grove Academy in Wandsworth. We are now a family of four schools comprising our founder schools plus two further primaries, Ravenstone Primary School and Paxton Academy.
Unique to our Trust is the strong collaboration with Wandle Learning Partnership (WLP), which is home to our Teaching School Hub, English Hub and Maths Hub and our not-for-profit phonics programme, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Collectively we are united in the belief that there is no more important role than making a positive difference to children’s lives.
Our aim is to ensure that as a result of attending an academy in the Trust, every young person will be inspired and empowered by their education. Inspired to build a purposeful and fulfilling life and empowered to make a valuable contribution to the world around them.
As a Trust we believe in Educating for life, ensuring that our children are prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Each academy will aim to achieve an outstanding judgement from OFSTED at the earliest appropriate point and be contributing to delivering world-class education within the Trust.
