Case Study
Parallel Learning Trust
Short Background of the Trust
We are a specialist Multi- Academy Trust established in 2014, with expertise in Special and Alternative Provision academies.
Our Mission Statement – We will build cultures of ambition for pupils from all backgrounds. We will provide a world class education where we seek to develop creative, independent, life-long learners, who will be equiped with a passion for self development, committed to the community within which they will live and work. Education is the “lighting of a fire” (W.B.Yeats) and our Trust embodies this fully. We aim to contribute to a vibrant population of thinkers, voters, and entrepreneurs, especially within those groups historically excluded by deprivation and low attainment. We will, and already do, prepare young people for a life without limits. The Trust’s role is to enable school leaders within our academies to focus on their core purpose of delivering high quality teaching and learning.
It does this by providing a collaborative framework model and strategic support. Meanwhile, the Trust’s service delivery arm, Logic School Services, provides practical supports across all of the non-teaching disciplines including finance, HR and premises management. the Trust is committed to being open and transparent with all its stakeholders.
The challenges you were facing
Best Solution
The Solution through Trust wide website project
I joined the Trust in May 2019 and immediately saw that the Trust was quite outdated in regards to Marketing/Media. After a few months of working for the Trust I got in contact with Schudio to carry out some website audits for us and then went on to chat to Ian Richardson about the possibility of using them as our website providers as I really liked the company and the way they worked. The Trust wide website project allowed us to open so many more doors in the way that we visually represented PLT.
We can make so many changes without going to Schudio and whenever we do have to go to Schudio for a major change the cost is incredibly lower than our previous providers. Overall the websites are 100% better than where we were at in 2019.
