Chelveston Road School is part of Better Together Learning Trust. The Trust's vision is to become an acknowledged leader in the provision of inclusive education. The Directors, governors and staff who work within Better Together Learning Trust are very passionate about the education and life chances that we provide for our young people.
This investment has resulted in a highly successful track record for schools within the Trust. During our relatively brief time as a Multi Academy Trust we have developed fruitful partnerships with local organisations and groups and we are always keen to see how partnerships can be developed for the benefit of our students and the community.
Likewise, there are always opportunities for individuals to become involved in our work and we would welcome approaches from people who think they could serve as a governor or director. Please visit the Better Together Learning Trust website to learn more about the Multi Academy Trust, it's governance and Trust policies.
