Our Trust

Governance -

Local Governing Committees

The City Learning Trust have delegated many responsibilities back to the individual Local Governing Committees in each Academy.

Each Local Governing Committee monitors the Academy’s key performance targets and acts as a critical friend to the Headteacher/Principal and the Academy’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to provide both support and challenge where appropriate.

"It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the City Learning Trust. Since 2014, we have worked together as a partnership of academies, proud to serve our children and young people across the city of Stoke-on-Trent.

Nelson Mandela once commented that, ‘there can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children’.

We hold to this statement with every decision that we make across the City Learning Trust. We are committed to giving everything, everyday so that our children can be the best that they can be."
