child and family learning trust
Halifax
The Family of Learning Trust is a small Trust serving Calderdale and the
adjoining areas. The Trust is committed to a local approach, unlike some other
large academy chains. It believes in “local solutions for local people”, with
school improvement work being focused on a true understanding of the local
communities the schools’ serve. The Trust has developed strong networks and
partnerships with many other organisations; we have a large and experienced
senior team with many areas of expertise including SEND, Teaching and Learning,
Curriculum, HR, Inclusion and Finance. We have the capacity and expertise to
make a significant impact on improving opportunities for pupils through raising
attainment and improving the teaching and learning experiences in other schools.
School improvement is a key driver for the Trust and we are committed to working
with schools to bring about positive change. Our core purpose is to: Enable
academy leaders and staff to raise standards of achievement and attainment by
working collaboratively across the trust. Remain individual as a school and
thrive in its own context. Ensure our learners receive a broad, balanced,
engaging curriculum. Ensure all academies are achieving value for money. Build
capacity across all aspects of education, business and operational activity.
Minimise bureaucracy for leaders so they are able to focus on achieving the best
outcomes for learners. Recruit and retain excellent staff within the Trust.
Provide excellent CPD opportunities. Drive school improvement through specialist
staff and lead practitioners in the Trust Ensure staff wellbeing and good
work-life balance. Provide HR/Finance and payroll support. Access opportunities
for close partnership working with the Local Authority and local Teaching
schools to benefit our pupils.
