The Children First Learning Partnership was established in April 2019 and is a small but growing Staffordshire-based multi-academy trust made up of Primary and First schools.
We believe our name captures what is at the very heart of all that we believe in and will drive our future development and growth. We pride ourselves in the support, challenge and encouragement that we provide for each other and believe every school in the Children First Learning Partnership is unique, diverse and bursting with talent that will always be actively encouraged.
We work tirelessly to ensure our pupils love to come to school, know how to keep themselves safe and make friendships based on respect, honesty and trust. The difference we can make to our local community is also very important to our schools and we promote this cohesion to develop a sense of pride and responsibility in our pupils.
Collaboration is a key driver in our motto ‘Inspiring Excellence Together’. We have a proven track record of school to school improvement, which has enabled schools facing difficulty to rapidly improve. Alongside this success it has allowed those offering support the opportunity to be able to grow leaders and specialist teachers for the future. By doing so we can ensure that our pupils receive an outstanding and innovative curriculum, which promotes a wide range of exciting and aspirational learning opportunities, inspiring a thirst to learn and the skills to work independently and alongside others.
