Here at South Downs Learning Trust (SDLT), we are a family of local schools and not just a ‘Multi Academy Trust’. Every school in the trust is committed to providing the highest standard of education so that all learners are supported to be the best that they can be.

SDLT is a small trust with big ambition for our local young people and learning community. We are clear of our moral purpose; to ensure that every child in our trust gets the very best education to ensure the widest of life opportunities. We do this by building on the individual strengths of our schools, taking the best of each, and applying these standards to other schools in the trust. A collaborative approach benefits us all. By drawing on our collective wealth of experience and knowledge we ensure high standards of teaching across all schools, with our learners at the centre of all we do.  South Downs Learning Trust is an inclusive trust, welcoming and embedding all cultures in a supportive environment across our schools. 

Motivated by a shared vision and the trust’s mission, to Achieve Success Together, we endeavour to serve our community by improving the opportunities of local children through education, nurture and shared experience. 

We strongly believe in the power of community at SDLT, not just our school community but our wider Eastbourne community.   Through the power of our strong and localised partnerships with our professionals and local businesses, we are able to offer our young people the very best of opportunities, far beyond just their academic careers.  For details of our trust and all of our partnerships locally, check out our website.
