OUR TRUST In 2015, Nonsuch High School for Girls formed a multi-academy trust with Wallington High School for Girls, the Nonsuch & Wallington Education Trust. In 2018, the company changed its name to Girls’ Learning Trust (GLT) and later that year Carshalton High School for Girls joined the MAT. Our schools share many characteristics and are held in high regard by the local community. They are high performing and deliver a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum setting high expectations. Students benefit from be- ing taught by well-qualified, dedicated and committed staff who are experts in girls’ education. GLT benefits from the expertise within an executive support staff team that provides shared services for schools, including Finance, Estates, IT, Procure- ment, Capital Development Projects, HR, Governance, Audit and Risk. This core team of professionals ensure consistent methods of operation, strong quality assurance and best value across the Trust. Relationships in the Trust, between staff and students or between colleagues, are built on mutual trust and respect. These relationships drive school im- provement and contribute to the wellbeing of everyone. Visitors often com- ment on the high levels of motivation and positive behaviour of the students, the commitment and professionalism of the staff and the well-equipped school buildings. Strong academic performance is complemented by highly effective pastoral care. We believe in offering a broad experience that goes well beyond the ac- ademic and girls are encouraged to develop their confidence, independence and resilience across a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular activi- ties. What makes the Girls’ Learning Trust special? While we work across the Trust to support school performance and ensure value for public money, we believe in allowing our schools autonomy in devel- oping approaches to pedagogy and the curriculum that will deliver the very best outcomes for their students. Nevertheless, our shared values and the many opportunities we have for collaboration across our schools mean that we learn lots from each other and that we remain outward-focussed.
OUR SCHOOLS All three schools in the Trust (Carshalton, Nonsuch and Wallington High School for Girls) share many common characteristics and are held in high regard in the local community. They are high performing, deliver a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum, and set high expectations. Students across the Trust benefit from being taught by highly qual- ified, dedicated and committed staff who share their passion and knowledge of their subject.

What is it like working at the Girls’ Learning Trust? Unlike many other MATs, all of our staff are located at offices in one of our schools, ensuring our central services gain an understanding of the challenges and oppor- tunities that face our pupils, teachers and school leaders. The environment is fun, fast paced and collegiate. Colleagues join us from all different walks of life and for a host of different reasons. But the one thing that we all share is a passion for educa- tion and a desire to make sure young people get the best education possible.
