Exeter Learning Academy Trust (ELAT) is a primary trust educating more than 1200 children.

ELAT believes that schools need to retain their own individuality to best serve the communities around them and we value the diversity that this brings to the Trust. However, we also know that we are stronger together and, as a Trust, we enable schools to share best practice; support with financial, HR and resource management; and provide school improvement support.

Our schools strive for excellence and have a strong moral purpose in ensuring that we make a difference to the lives of all our children, no matter their starting point.  We believe we have a duty to use our professional skills and knowledge to help the children overcome any barriers so they can be opened to a world of choice and opportunity.

Working collaboratively and developing strong relationships is core to the success of our Trust. We share our strengths and use our collective resources to get the best outcomes for our children. We believe it is important to build capacity within our trust and to that end we will not only grow success from within but look beyond our schools to develop strong working relationships with other educational establishments. We must be able to confidently state that no child in any of our schools would get a better education elsewhere.
