We are proud of our vibrant learning environment and our exciting curriculum and we are delighted that this is reflected in the way our children view our school.

Our children tell us that what they like about their school are ‘the caring teachers’, ‘the exciting lessons', 'the fantastic playground', 'the chance to experience new things' and the way that ‘everyone works together’.

Our aim is to help children to grow into confident, articulate and talented individuals, who can function as successful members of the community.

We are preparing today's children for tomorrow's world.

Respect: We respect ourselves, one another and our environment

Responsibility: We take responsibility for ourselves, one another and our learning. Our every action and interaction builds a secure and united community. We are true to ourselves and offer strength to others.

Resilience: We embrace challenge, recognising that through our mistakes, true learning happens. We take risks, always willing to have a go…..never wanting to miss out on opportunities to improve. We don’t give up.

Kindness: We show kindness to all that we meet, in the way that we treat people, in our class, school locally and globally.

Fairness: We are fair in all that we do, listen carefully and act with integrity.

Empathy: We are empathetic to all we come into contact with, through our learning about others and the world, and to experiences and opportunities presented to us. We embrace new experiences and do everything we can to ensure that we are leaders of our own learning.

Who are CLIC?

Some academies are sponsored or supported by an educational Trust who had no prior connection to the school. Our Trust, CLIC, has evolved out of our school communities and is currently led by Sally Lamb, the Interim Executive Principal. Mrs Lamb is held to account by the Board of Directors (who oversee finance and academic performance) most of which are existing school governors.

Each school has a local governing body, with representatives from the parent body, staff and the local community, including councillors. They work with Headteachers and pay close attention to the way in which the schools deliver the broad curriculum (not just Maths and English) and support the wellbeing of the children and staff.

Future Plans

One of the aims of the Trust is to work in collaboration with other schools in Greater Manchester and partners who have an interest in helping our children to achieve academic success and good, all-round development. For the past two years, our schools have worked with Dane Bank Primary School in Tameside which has seen great benefits from sharing expertise. Dane Bank officially joined the CLIC Trust in November 2019.
