‘Together Empowering Aspiration and Learning for North Devon’

Our mission… ‘Empowering Learning’

The Trust is committed to the development of a high quality learning community in North Devon, where all partners strive to provide high quality education/training and care to young people and staff.

Our Trust aims to be a positive, caring community in which each individual child, trainee, member of staff and school/partner is valued and respected. We endeavour to empower each school/partner to develop a high quality learning environment through collaborative working to empower young people, trainees and staff to embrace learning for life.
