About
Anglian Learning, a unique multi-academy trust
All members of our Trust share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust, and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation. Through membership in Anglian Learning, these values are reinforced by working with like-minded schools, leaders, and teachers, to make a difference in the lives of our children and young people. We believe that we have a shared responsibility, through support and challenge, to ensure that all our academies can offer an outstanding education to all pupils. We are committed to the best financial planning and clearest governance structure with a rigorous system of checks and balances to ensure our future development and growth.
Anglian Learning is an innovative, ground-breaking partnership, formed by the voluntary merger of three highly successful secondary school academy trusts in Cambridgeshire; we recognised that uniting as successful schools in one multi-academy trust provided significantly enhanced capacity for mutual support and challenge. The founding members of Anglian Learning are Bassingbourn Village College, Bottisham Village College, Sawston Village College and The Netherhall School and The Oakes College Cambridge. We were joined in March 2018 by three primary schools, Fen Ditton, Stapleford. A further secondary school, Joyce Frankland Academy, Newport, North Essex joined us in January 2020. This was followed by four more primary schools, Howard, Linton Heights, Meadow and Pines along with another secondary school, Linton Village College joining us in April 2020. Icknield Primary School joined us in April this year and our new primary school, Marleigh Primary Academy is due to open in September 2022.
We are committed to providing outstanding academies which are a source of pride for the communities that they serve.
We aim to achieve this by raising the educational attainment of all our young people and using the collective energy and cross-school educational fertilisation within the Trust to improve life chances by:
- Developing a dynamic and inspirational culture for teaching and learning excellence.
- Providing pupils with stimulating and valuable enrichment opportunities across the curriculum.
- Building a curriculum and assessment structure that will enable teachers, pupils, and parents to celebrate success and respond swiftly to challenge.
- Encouraging innovation and risk-taking through a focus on research and best practice locally, nationally, and internationally.
- Promoting, enabling, and supporting leadership at all levels to flourish in individual schools and across the Trust.
- Providing high quality professional learning opportunities for staff at all levels in the Trust
The Trust Leadership Team comprises of a Chief Executive Officer, a Deputy CEO and Director of Secondary Education, with an Ofsted Inspector as Deputy CEO and Director of Primary Education. In addition, the Leadership Team comprises a Director of Finance, Director of HR, Director of ICT, and a Director of Operations.
