In 2019 the CLF will have existed for 10 years as a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). In the course of that time our federation has developed from a small Bristol-based secondary education partnership to an instinctively collaborative ambitious organisation of over 30 entities, serving the educational needs of 15,000 children and young people aged 3 to 19. Our Federation is sponsored by the University of the West of England and Rolls-Royce PLC. Our academies are based in three 3-19 clusters in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. We employ around 1,600 people in a range of roles designed to help children to be successful in their lives. We also rely on the time and commitment of over 200 volunteer governors, who share our values and ambitions for our schools and our pupils. The CLF also includes a Maths Hub, Attendance Hub, two Behaviour Hubs, Initial Teacher Training and is a founding partner in the Five Counties Teaching School Hub Alliance. The trust is sponsored by the University of the West of England and Rolls-Royce PLC.
