ANOTHER Warrington primary school has announced it has joined an academy trust.

Latchford-based Our Lady’s Catholic Primary is now a member of the Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust (HFCMAT).

The school, which is located on Wash Lane in Latchford, stated the partnership marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in its journey and will help open up a myriad of opportunities including enhanced resources, collaborative learning initiatives and access to a wider network of expertise.

And it joins five other primary schools within the Trust, alongside two secondary schools from across Wirral and Cheshire.

Recently Our Lady’s received a Special Commendation Award from the council for their commitment to inclusivity.

David Gilby, head of school at Our Lady’s, said: “We are delighted to be a part of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust and become part of a family of schools who place the children at the centre, fostering transformation and cultivating innovation.

“This partnership signals a pivotal time in Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School’s journey, and we are excited for the future as part of the Trust.”

Meanwhile Andy Moor, CEO of HFCMAT, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School into Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust.

“Our Lady’s join our growing family of ambitious schools, each committed to delivering educational excellence with Christ at the centre.

“Our vision of formation, inspiration and transformation is the foundation on which the Trust is built and sets our course for developing individual excellence, embracing opportunities, and building strong communities with Gospel values at the heart.”
