Reaching high for the best for your child

I can now confirm that today is the last day that Fairlands Primary School will be a local authority maintained school and, from 1st April 2017, we will convert formally to academy status within our new multi-academy trust, The Claxton Trust.

This is an important day as it marks the beginning of our new journey within the trust. As we have said all along, in some senses everything is changing, but in another, everything will be staying the same. Same Fairlands logo, same uniform, same teachers and most importantly, the same children!

So, what will be different?

Well, yesterday the two leadership teams from Fairlands and Camps Hill met together to agree what our aims will be for the first year of the trust. We agreed the following:

   - Inspiring and empowering through collaboration and innovation

   - Building a safe, nurturing and supportive community that empowers all young people, families and staff to succeed

   - Ensuring that all pupils experience high quality teaching and learning in an inclusive environment

   - Embracing a reflective culture of continual improvement which grows and develops an outstanding trust community

   - Working efficiently across the trust to ensure value for money and organisational resilience

We will be sharing with you soon what our ideas are for actions against each of these aims, and how they will impact on everyone in our trust, including children, familes and staff.
