The Collaborative Learning Trust is a recently formed Multi-Academy Trust, founded on existing school partnerships in Yorkshire. We are proud of what we have achieved so far and are excited about the future.
The Collaborative Learning Trust places children at the very centre of everything that we do. We believe that the provision of key central services by the Trust enables individual schools to focus even more on providing an outstanding school experience for children and young people. Our vision for outstanding, inclusive, nursery to 19 education can only be achieved by building strong partnerships so that schools within Yorkshire are able to draw on the very best practice, wherever that may lie, and share expertise.
There is no doubt that working together in a formal partnership brings many benefits. At the same time, the Collaborative Learning Trust differs from many Trusts because we also recognise the importance of autonomy. Every school has its own context and challenges, so will need to respond to these specific needs, whilst working towards a shared vision, underpinned by shared values. This is why we have created a Trust that welcomes all schools from across our region. Our legal structure means that church and non-church schools can work together as part of our Trust. This means that all types of school will be able to benefit from our high quality central services, school improvement support and access to best practice. All types of school are able to maintain their individual identity. This is what makes the Collaborative Learning Trust so special.
