There are 2 High schools, 4 Primary schools with 4 Nurseries and 1 Special School in the Trust, all of which are OFSTED ‘Good’ Schools.

At Primitas Learning Partnership, we are acutely aware that children only have one chance at a high quality, school-based education and so they need and deserve the best. Therefore, we are passionate about making this happen by doing the right things in the right way… by being a truly collaborative educational venture, where everyone is of prime importance and where all can show leadership, with integrity and kindness, to help others improve.

Together, we seek to flourish, succeed and exceed expectations as we improve the lives of children and young people.
