welcome
A very warm welcome to The Pinnacle Learning Trust website. The Pinnacle Learning was established in 2017 by Oldham Sixth Form College and The Hathershaw College. Later, the Trust grew with Werneth Primary School joining in 2019, Broadfield Primary in 2023 and Alexandra Park Junior School in 2024.
There is a shared belief in our Trust that young people in Oldham and the surrounding area should have access to excellent educational provision. Our collective aim, articulated through our mission statement, is to improve the lives and life chances of young people through raising aspirations and achievement across our academies through the development of outstanding practice based upon partnership. We are at the centre of our local education system, as is evidenced by The Pinnacle Learning Research School, redesignated in September 2023 and a symbol of our Trust’s commitment to evidence-based practice and supporting the local system.
Thank you for your interest in our Trust.
