The Learning Community Trust (LCT) was established in June 2017, following approvals by the DfE, to create a Multi-Academy Trust in North Telford.
Our mission is very simple: we are driven to be an outstanding MAT for our community with a clear vision to provide the best possible education for all the children and young people in our Trust, helping them to be successful in all they do both now and in the future.
All our schools are in close proximity to each other and staff and students can quickly move between sites. We believe that children and young people should attend their local school because it is a good school and is first choice for parents in our area. This is already the case.
We keep our aims at the forefront of all we do; they represent our values as well as our intentions:
• To focus, across our schools, on excellence by achieving the best possible educational outcomes for our children and students by engaging and inspiring them, building their resilience and preparing them for work and adult life
• To drive a collaborative culture across our schools which drives and supports improvement and develops all our staff as leading professionals
• To provide the highest levels of care and support for our children so they can succeed, including those that are the most disadvantaged, vulnerable or with special needs in our community
• To ensure our schools are at the heart of the community they serve and are truly inclusive organisations with equality for all across our community
• To engage positively with our families and wider community, building partnerships and programmes that develop opportunities beyond the school sector. The vision for our Trust is to provide the highest quality of education and care for young people across our community with academies working in close partnership
LCT is now well established in Telford, with a great reputation and is a key provider of education locally from two year olds in our nurseries, through to our Y11 students taking their GCSEs in our secondary schools and beyond within our specialist settings. We really proud to have the full range of schools from primary, secondary and special which means we have significant experience and expertise in our teachers, leaders and support staff.
We are committed to recruiting superb staff, providing them with great professional development and career progression within the Trust. We pride ourselves on being a great employer and make every effort to support and value our staff. Telford is a great place to live and work with excellent housing, schools, good transport networks as well as being located in the beautiful, rural county of Shropshire.
