The Talentum Learning Trust

The Talentum Learning Trust was formed in April 2016. Three schools, previously in a Hard Federation, converted to academy status within the Multi-Academy Trust.

The schools, Churnet View Middle School, Leek High School and Westwood College had a history of collaboration and working together which was formalised through the hard federation in 2012. A natural development was to convert to a MAT and further extend the formality of the relationship.

The schools continued to work closely with all of the schools in the town and in 2019, six of these joined the Trust; All Saints’ CE First School; Beresford Memorial CE First School; Blackshaw Moor CE First School; Leek First School; Rushton Primary School; and Westwood First School.
