As a Multi-Academy Trust founded on existing school partnerships in Yorkshire, we are proud of what we have achieved so far and excited about the future. Our aim is to constantly strive to support the development of lifelong independent learners in a child centred and inclusive Trust. We believe that this 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 across the Trust.

The Collaborative Learning Trust places children at the very centre of everything that we do. 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 – in line with the Trust’s vision.
