Update to Chester Diocesan Learning Trust (CDLT)

We were pleased to introduce to you the new Diocesan MAT, Chester Diocesan Learning Trust (CDLT). Applications for the formation of the Trust and the seven schools joining in the first tranche have now been submitted and are due to go to the Advisory Board in June.

Once the decision has been made we will move on to the next steps of consultation with each school’s community. When consultations have been completed and the support of stakeholders ascertained, the next step would be to move onto the conversion process with the hope for schools to join in the new year.  

This is an exciting time for the DBE and we would be delighted to hear from schools, from the west of the diocese, who might want to talk further about being part of the Trust and joining in the next phase. If you would like to find out more, please email Sue Noakes or call 07540722668.
