Cramlington Learning Village is a comprehensive single academy trust
with 2000 students serving a community which sits between the beauty of Northumberland and the bright lights of Newcastle. Although the school is large in scale, it feels like a smaller community school where every student feels known and cared for. We pride ourselves in our
core principles: ‘we are a school built on respect, which develops resilient learners, expert readers, knowledge explorers and responsible citizens.’
Cramlington Learning Village became a single academy trust over 11 years ago, and as a governing body we are looking to build on the strength of this history.
The school is at an exciting time. We have recently taken over the management of Cramlington Sporting Club – a facility which is used by many sport and leisure clubs in the town, and which has great potential. We are part of the Department for Education’s School Rebuilding Programme and the buildings are currently being assessed for refurbishing or rebuilding over the next few years.
