Delivering excellence for all is a collective responsibility embraced throughout our Trust.

In addition to our schools, CLT is a leading provider of teacher training through the Chiltern Training Group (CTG), an ‘outstanding’ Initial Teacher Training provider, and the Chiltern Teaching School Hub (CTSH) .CTSH runs two national Teaching School Hubs, working with schools across Milton Keynes, Bedford, Luton, and surrounding areas to raise educational standards.
