Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust
About Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust
The Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust (DND Learning Trust) is an important part of the vision of two Dioceses, Durham and Newcastle. The Trust exists to enable Primary Schools to achieve educational excellence through Christian-based ethos and values. We offer supportive academy options for schools looking to join a Trust, whether they are Church of England or not.
We are currently made up of 21 schools (soon to be 22) spanning eight Local Authorities, employing over five hundred staff but most importantly educating almost four thousand Primary School age children. All of our schools are different, but they are all equally anchored in the community they serve.
We have ‘tiny rural’ schools of less than 50 children and large urban schools of over 400 children and whilst they are all Church of England our reach extends well beyond Church of England Schools.
As part of our commitment to the region we also work with non-church schools on School Improvement and our Team are regularly supporting DFE initiatives be they regional or national.
The DND Learning Trust started as three Primary Schools in 2017 and during the following years we have seen steady growth to the point we are at now. The Trust continues to grow. Being part of the DND Learning Trust is like being part of a family. The Central Team pride themselves on being available to support everyone who works in our Trust but most importantly we are here to help our schools to be what they want to be.
"Every Child Matters and No Child is Ever Left Behind"
At the DNDLT we believe everyone in our Trust is a child of God, adults and children alike. Every individual and every school matters, all are valued and celebrated, and no one should be left behind.
As a Diocesan Trust of the Dioceses of Newcastle and Durham we are here
to serve children, and schools of all faiths and none. We welcome both Church of England and
Community Schools to join us to serve our communities in the North East of
England as part of our Trust family whilst remaining unique and distinct within
their local context.
The Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust is a place where we
strive for the best outcomes for our children and staff. We work hard to achieve equity and
flourishing for everyone. We want our
staff and children to feel valued and celebrated given the opportunity to
innovate and reach their full potential.
We want our schools to be at the heart of their communities serving them
in the way they know best, knowing they will be supported, encouraged and
affirmed by a dedicated and specialist team.
