Context

Advance Learning Partnership was established in 2017 and has since grown into a mixed-phase Multi Academy Trust, serving nursery, primary and secondary pupils across County Durham and Darlington. The majority of our schools are located in communities facing significant social and economic challenges, and we are dedicated to improving outcomes for all children.

We have followed a carefully managed path of organic growth, ensuring each school joining the Trust receives the individual support and attention necessary for sustained improvement. At the same time, we have built an effective and efficient central team, providing high-quality services that enable schools to focus on delivering excellent education.

ALP is dedicated to creating inclusive educational communities where families have confidence in the journey their child takes, from age two through to further education, training or employment. Our Governors focus on continuous improvement, expanding our provision across all educational sectors and meeting the evolving needs of our pupils and communities.

Looking ahead, we are committed to building on our strong foundations. Schools that share our values, ethos, and commitment to sustainable growth are welcomed into the ALP family through a considered and collaborative process. We continue to work closely with the Regional Director and the Department for Education to contribute to a cohesive, high-quality educational landscape across the Northern region.
