Cambrian Learning Trust

About Cambrian Learning Trust

Cambrian Learning Trust is a multi-academy trust in Oxfordshire. The name ‘Cambrian’ refers to one of the oldest bedrocks spanning the globe, formed during the influential geologic Cambrian era. Its most notable features align perfectly with our Trust’s ethos and approach: * A strong and solid foundation for building lifelong learning and success * A catalyst for the advancement of innovation and creativity in schools * An ideal environment in which diversity is cultivated, embraced and celebrated In keeping with these attributes, our strapline ‘Nurturing Growth – Inspiring Minds’ perfectly encapsulates what the Cambrian Learning Trust stands for. We are driven to nurture all learners - the children and young people in our care, our staff, and the adults in our school communities so that they can achieve their very best, whilst providing inspiration, motivation and challenge. All our schools (three secondary- with sixth forms, one all-through and fourteen primaries) are based in and around Faringdon, Wantage and Abingdon in South Oxfordshire; 8 of our schools are church schools, and all but one of our primaries has a pre-school setting. A significant strength and benefit is that all our schools are situated within a small area, with the majority being just a short 10 or 15-minute drive from each other. The proximity of our schools enables extensive collaboration, sharing of expertise and creative solutions. The Trust promotes school autonomy and independent thinking. All our headteachers have the responsibility and authority to lead their schools, driven by local context and need. Each school has its own Local Governing Committee whose remit is to challenge and support school leaders in achieving the best possible outcomes.
