Welcome to Orchard Learning Alliance
We are a family of 10 schools, all in close proximity within the Wokingham and Reading area. Our schools first came together in 2022 to explore what a ‘co-designed’ multi-academy trust could look like and, since then, we have built on our shared values, commitments to our communities and school improvement to form the Orchard Learning Alliance.
