The Thomas Alleyne Academy is a member of the Chiltern Learning Trust, an academy trust working with both primary and secondary schools in Bedfordshire and Stevenage and the surrounding area. We pride ourselves on our broad curriculum, the extensive enrichment opportunities we provide and the excellent support we offer our schools.
We believe in the power of collaboration to improve outcomes for children and we enable our schools to work together in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. Whilst all of our schools share common values, we understand that each school will have its own unique character as it caters for the specific needs of the community it serves.
Chiltern Learning Trust (CLT) is an outstanding progressive multi-academy trust of 18 schools. The schools within the Trust are thriving and moving forwards. Our Trust also includes the Chiltern Training Group (CTG), a high quality Initial Teacher Training provider, which is one of only three ‘outstanding’ school based providers’ in the country. Similarly, within our Trust runs the Chiltern Teaching School Alliance (CTSA), a well-established, high quality school improvement process. We are committed to excellent standards of teaching and learning and helping raise the attainment of all learners. We work in partnership with a variety of local and national organisations, contributing towards the self-improving system. Our Trust also has a growing national reputation and in the last three years, we have received visits from the Prime Minister, the then Secretary of State for Education, and the Home Secretary. These high profile visitors and many others come into our schools to observe outstanding practice and to learn about some of our innovative and forward thinking approaches to teaching and learning. The Multi-Academy Trust was formed in 2013, when two outstanding secondary schools joined together. We now run 9 secondary schools, two middles and five primary schools. The practicalities of the Trust arrangement enable us to retain a strong central team of specialists with expertise in quality assurance and data, finance, marketing, facilities management, staff training and development, technology for learning and human resources. These high quality professionals help ensure that any school in our Trust can focus on delivering high quality learning and outstanding pupil outcomes.
