Learning Community Trust

The Learning Community Trust was established in June 2017, following approvals by the DfE, to create a Multi-Academy Trust in North Telford based at the highly successful Hadley Learning Community (HLC). The Trust has also been approved as an academy sponsor, by the DfE, as part of the application process.

The vision for our Trust is to provide the highest quality of education and care for young people across our community with academies working in close partnership. The Trust will operate from the HLC campus and is determined to drive school improvement across the Trust and ensure the best possible outcomes for our children and students. The intention is to steadily grow the Trust over the next two years with further secondary and primary schools.

The Trust is led by a very experienced and successful Head, Dr Gill Eatough who has been appointed as Executive Principal and CEO of the Trust.

This is a very exciting time for the Trust as the first of our schools convert and join the Trust. We have an outstanding Trust Board of ten Directors with significant experience in education, focussed on school improvement, as well as Trustees from the world of industry and business.

The academies joining the trust for the beginning of the Autumn Term are:-

Hadley Learning Community Primary Phase – with over 500 children on roll
Hadley Learning Community Secondary Phase – with over 900 students
Queensway HLC Special School – part of HLC and is a 60 place special school for young people with a significant diagnosis of autism from Y6 – Y11.

The Trust is also sponsoring:-

Charlton Secondary School in Wellington – with over 1100 students
Mount Gilbert Special School in Telford for EBD students from KS2 – KS4
