• shares our commitment to improving outcomes for every child.

Altus Education Partnership is a growing Multi-Academy Trust with a strong reputation for educational excellence across Rochdale. We are committed to collaboration, developing people and creating schools where both staff and pupils thrive.

If you are looking for an opportunity to make a lasting difference by working alongside school leaders to build capacity and secure sustainable improvement, we would love to hear from you.
