Chief Executive Officer’s
welcome

A very warm welcome to The Pinnacle Learning Trust website. I am very proud to be the Chief Executive Officer for the Trust, working closely with Trustees and the Principals of our academies. The Pinnacle Learning Trust was developed through the long-standing, strong and effective relationship between The Hathershaw College and Oldham Sixth Form College, with Werneth Primary School joining the Trust in February 2019. Broadfield Primary has also completed the transfer process and has been part of the Pinnacle Family since 1st April 2023.

We have established the Trust in order to build upon our shared belief that young people in Oldham and the local area should have access to excellent educational provision and to provide new and additional ways in which we can further improve on our strengths and provide support to other schools, both within and beyond the Trust.
