Last term, we asked what you thought of the idea of Churchill Community College becoming part of a Learning Trust in North Tyneside.

To become part of the Learning Trust, our school would convert to a type of Foundation School, known as a Trust School.

Following consultation with parents, governors and staff, we decided that this was the right thing for our school, and agreed to go ahead.

From 3 September 2010, Churchill Community College officially became a
Foundation School with a Foundation (i.e. a Trust School), and became part of the North Tyneside Learning Trust.

This means we will be able to work more formally and closely with other schools and public and private sector partners in the Learning Trust, to improve learning opportunities for pupils.

It also means that we will now have two Foundation governors on our governing body, who will be appointed by the North Tyneside Learning Trust.

23 schools, including ours, formally became Trust Schools from September 3, 2010.

The 23 Trust Schools are joined in the Learning Trust by North Tyneside’s 13 Roman Catholic and Church of England voluntary-aided schools, which are represented by their Diocesan trustees.

This is an extremely exciting time for schools in North Tyneside and we look forward to the Trust being a real force for school improvement over the coming years.
