Little Leigh Primary, Shutley Lane, Little Leigh, Cheshire, CW8 4RN Chair of Local Academy Board (LAB): Ryan Tomlinson Clerk to the Local Academy Board (LAB): Julie White in education, teachers often refer to a moment when they see something click for a child; the exact moment where a concept is understood, an imagination is lit or an idea is formed.

Create Learning is a network of academies committed to giving children and young people moments like that in their education. We embrace innovation, share best practice and shape opportunities; creating an environment that sparks and ignites the talents and interests of our staff and students.

Our Trust is driven by a strong set of values that underpin who we are and what we do. To achieve our vision, every member of our community is committed to: Working together to provide the best quality of education. Encouraging innovation, self-belief and confidence. Acting with a moral purpose and with integrity.
