The Dovestone Learning Partnership was officially created on 1 st October 2017 and is Oldham's first shared Co-operative Trust. Made up of eight schools across Saddleworth and Lees, we have joined together to form this partnership, as a collaborative force to drive standards and aspirations. After consulting with parents, children, staff, governors and the community, Delph Primary School, Diggle Primary School and Knowsley Junior School set up the charitable trust. Christ Church C of E Primary, in Denshaw; Friezland Primary; St Agnes CE Primary; Greenfield St Mary's C of E Primary and St Thomas Leesfield C of E Primary, in Lees, are also associate partners. We aim to work together to improve opportunities for our children, families and our communities. It is an exciting time for all of the schools involved and a fantastic opportunity to share expertise and outstanding practice, enhance staff development, explore financial efficiencies and create the very best educational opportunities for our young people. We have already achieved a lot and have exciting plans for the future of our Trust.
