Lunesdale Learning Trust

About Lunesdale Learning Trust Welcome to Lunesdale Learning Trust, which includes Queen Elizabeth School (QES) and Queen Elizabeth Studio School (QEStudio), two secondary schools working together as one community to provide exceptional academic, vocational and technical education to all in our community. Our founding two schools work together as one family, aiming to lie at the heart of our community, transforming the lives of the young people we serve, through our unrelenting focus on excellence of scholarship and care. Lunesdale Learning Trust is a special place as not only do we serve our current two schools, we also provide finance, payroll and HR services to 10-partner schools. Presently, LLT is filled with over 1500 inspirational young people and nearly 250 expert staff. We have an unrelenting focus on excellence, based on positive and engaging relationships. QES, as one of the best schools in the country, has served our community since 1591 and we treat the custodianship of our scholarship and care as a gift. A gift that enables us to metamorphosise the life chances of all of our students. Lunesdale Learning Trust is at the point of significant growth, with an extremely active and ambitious growth strategy which will take us from our two founding schools to a trust of seven secondary schools and their cluster primary school partners. We are a values based, community focused, cross-phase multi-academy trust serving Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Lancashire. As a Trust, we believe every young person deserves the space, support and challenge to thrive. Our trust brings together schools across the North with a shared commitment to excellence, inclusion and community ?" creating a partnership where every learner’s future is strengthened by the collective expertise of many. Our founding schools, QES and QEStudio, come together to allow us to provide a balance between academic, vocational and technical learning, giving our students the skills, qualifications and experiences to be the best in the country. If you wish to be a part of a values based, community focussed, ethically led organisation, we want to hear from you! David Waugh, Trust Leader (CEO) & Executive Headteacher
