History of the trust
Faringdon Learning Trust began life in 2012, when the three schools in the town – Faringdon Community College, Faringdon Infant School and Faringdon Junior School – formalised their close links by creating a multi-academy trust (MAT). In 2014, five other schools within the catchment of Faringdon Community College joined the trust.
All eight schools that currently make up the trust had previously worked together as part of the Faringdon Partnership. The trust was known as Faringdon Academy of Schools between 2012 and 2020, when it changed its name to Faringdon Learning Trust.
Faringdon Infant, Junior and Community College join together in 2012 to create Faringdon Academy of Schools.
