**About us**:
**Heartwood Learning Trust is a growing multi-academy trust for both primary and secondary schools. We are a Church of England trust that brings together church and community schools.**:
**Our Vision**

Our vision is really very simple. We aspire to provide a place where children and young people can thrive. The aspirations for our existing academies and those joining us are to establish environments where young people thrive. We want our schools to be places where children and young people thrive as active learners; compassionate, kind and creative individuals; caring and engaged citizens; and spiritual beings. We aim to grow together, to serve one another and nurture our children and young people.

In a world of turmoil we offer schools the opportunity to concentrate on teaching and learning, providing peace of mind as we look after everything else. Heartwood Learning Trust presents opportunities and expectations that promote success.

As a Trust, we want every young person to experience great teaching, so we place the highest value on developing colleagues at all levels.
