Background to Alternative Learning Trust - Kent & Medway Hub
Alternative Learning Trust (ALT) is a multi-academy trust (MAT) for Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), Alternative Provisions (APs), and Specialist Settings. We are a collaborative trust and believe the most sustainable developments and improvements come from working together. We are driven to transform the educational experiences of all children and young people, offering them opportunities to reach sustainable outcomes for the rest of their lives. These values are accompanied by excellent pedagogy, vibrant curriculum models, and responsible governance.
The Alternative Learning Trust became a multi-academy trust (MAT company number 11788031) in June 2019. Nore Academy will become the sixth school of The Alternative Learning Trust; The other schools of the trust includes Limes College, Estuary Academy North, Estuary Academy Island, Will Adams Academy, Saffron Valley Collegiate. The Trust has been established to work with Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) and alternative providers who support vulnerable students to access and engage with education. Many of our students have special educational needs and some have been excluded from mainstream education.
As a Trust we have the following core set of values for our staff and the families we support: • the need for people to flourish in all areas of their lives; • we are stronger through a sense of community; • social justice is vital.
