Leigh Trust

On the 1 January 2014 we were successful in creating a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) known as Leigh Trust (a non-profit making charitable company limited by guarantee). As of 1 January 2014, Leigh Primary school is now an academy within Leigh Trust.

As part of the transfer the secretary of state also approved Leigh Trust "sponsor status". Meaning Leigh Trust has the potential to sponsor other local schools and support them to build upon their existing strengths and help them achieve rapid educational transformation. As of the 1st July 2014, Leigh Trust was successful with their application to sponsor Alston Primary School. Leigh Trust have also been successful with sponsoring further local primary schools, Wyndcliffe Primary School as of 1st March 2015, Marlborough Primary School on 1st January 2019 and Nansen Primary School on 1st April 2020.

The Trust aims to have all five schools, Leigh Primary, Alston Primary, Wyndcliffe Primary, Marlborough Primary and Nansen Primary School working in successful partnership and sharing best practice in order to raise educational standards across the Trust.

We look forward to continuing our work with all our communities to ensure our Primary Schools and Leigh Trust goes from strength to strength in providing an outstanding learning community for all our learners.
