Joining as an associate member

At Uttoxeter Learning Trust, we may offer an Associate Membership scheme, which allows interested schools to gain experience of the benefits of membership before committing to a full legal transfer.

In effect you will experience what it’s like to be a full member, but on a temporary basis so that you can ensure our Trust is a good fit.
