Cheviot Learning Trust embraces its first day of school as a trust

Cheviot Learning Trust is a great blend of the two trusts, focusing on their strengths and shared core values of innovation, cooperation, respect, and excellence. The trust embraces the new school year starting with the impactful overarching knowledge that their schools exist to shape the future. 

Cheviot Learning Trust's fundamental objective is to promote education for the greater good of society. Every school within the Trust community possesses distinctive attributes to contribute and distinctive hurdles to overcome. Each school garners increased strength as part of the Trust community, thereby delivering a more exceptional educational experience for the betterment of society compared to operating independently.

By curating a team of adept individuals with elevated expectations, the Trust ensures that the right people are engaged in driving progress. Furthermore, the emphasis on fostering comprehensive knowledge and essential skills among all participants fuels collective advancement as a whole.
