About us
Our Trust exists to serve young people, to educate, enlighten and give them the expertise and confidence to succeed. Our values are displayed on this page. We believe that through them and through honest and open collaboration, higher standards will be achieved across the Trust.
TLT currently comprises three secondary schools - Christleton High School, Chester International School, and Queen’s Park High School and one primary school - Belgrave Primary School - but discussions continue with the aim of expanding our offer to partners both local and international. Our offices are based at Queen’s Park High School, Chester.
We believe that Chester and the North West offers a truly brilliant opportunity for education, business and quality of life, and it is our mission to further enrich this by providing an education service which is both diverse and outstanding.
I recognise the importance of listening to your views, ideas and proposals. Please feel welcome to call or email me at the Trust.
