Chester-le-Street Learning Alliance

Cestria Primary School is a founder member of the Chester-le-Street Learning Alliance. This is a school company formed by a number of like-minded schools and educational providers in the Chester-le-Street area.

Following many years of informal collaboration between the schools involved, the Chester-le-Street Learning Alliance is a natural development of these well-established relationships.

The aims of the company are to work in partnership to:

• Deliver enrichment activities tailored to our collective need.
• Access high quality teaching and learning experiences by sharing best practice within the group.
• Maximise the resources available to us by allowing the company to collectively bid for grants.
• Provide financial clarity, and a formal conduit for financing joint projects.
