We are pleased to share the news that Enlighten Learning Trust (ELT) and Learning Partners Church Academy Trust (LPCAT) have agreed to explore the potential of merging, with the shared goal of enhanced educational opportunities for local children, staff, and communities.

Helen Coulson, Chair of ELT said "over the next six months, trustees will assess how this merger could create a dynamic, strong, and supportive environment with a distinctive Christian character for the church schools we serve. If concluded successfully, we hope to merge in the coming year".

Both Trusts are in strong positions and this potential collaboration could build on shared values as well as  benefit from the strength of a larger trust framework.
