What is next for the Trust?

Since our merger in 2023, our Trust has supported 18 schools with growth, investment, innovation and better opportunities. We foster collaboration across every school, while our Teaching School develops confident, effective and inspired educators.

When Cheviot Learning Trust was first founded, we had high expectations for what we could achieve to benefit the students, staff and wider community. Since then, we have remained focused on turning those ambitions into meaningful action, strengthening our schools and creating lasting impact across our Trust.

Outcomes and opportunities for pupils

Improving outcomes and opportunities for pupils has always been central to our vision. Since the merger, we have worked to strengthen curriculum quality, widen opportunities and support strong progress across all key stages. 

SEND and inclusive practice 

Since coming together as a Trust, we have strengthened SEND provisions through shared expertise, earlier identification of needs and more consistent support across schools. Staff have access to wider training and guidance through partners, helping build confidence in inclusive practice.

School improvement and collaboration 

Our schools work closely together, sharing expertise and learning from one another through structured networks and shared priorities. The Trust has also invested in improvements to the physical learning environments in schools, including funding renovations. 

Staff development and workforce 

Through our Teaching School and wider networks, staff benefit from shared learning, collaboration and clear progression routes. This helps us attract, develop and retain talented teachers while supporting wellbeing and workload.

Looking towards the future

This progress reflects the journey we have been on together. As we look to the future, we will build on these foundations and continue working towards even better outcomes for our students, staff and communities.
