Our CIT Family of Schools
The Community Inclusive Trust (CIT) is an education charity working in partnership with local communities to provide not-for-profit mainstream and special needs education. Our schools enhance the education provision of the communities they serve and improve the life chances of the pupils who attend CIT schools. This is driven and supported by high quality central services and CIT’s in-house specialist SEND training provider, LEARN.
The Trust was formed in 2014, founded by two outstanding schools, Grantham Additional Needs Fellowship (GANF) – Ambergate Sports College and Sandon School. Our family of schools now consists of 8 mainstream primaries, 7 special schools, and the LEARN SEND Hub. We also support Leicestershire County Council to run Loughborough & North Charnwood Inclusion Partnership.
