We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday 7th January 2020.
Werrington Primary School has now converted to become an Academy and form part of the Soke Education Trust. The process to convert has now been completed and the Trust Academies start 2018 as part of a dynamic Multi Academy Trust.
I am able to give you an update regarding the progress made towards forming a Multi Academy Trust. On June 6th the Department for Education - Regional Schools Commissioner Headteacher Board met to consider our Academy Conversion application along with the other Proposed Soke Education Trust schools namely Wittering Primary School and John Clare Primary School. In addition to this the proposed Soke Education Trust Sponsor Application was also considered in respect of Gunthorpe Primary School. I am now able to confirm that the DFE have issued an Academy Order to enable WPS to formally proceed with the conversion process. I am also able to share that the Department for Education considers the Soke Education Trust to be an appropriate organisation to sponsor an academy which means that Gunthorpe will be part of the Soke Education Trust. This Head Teacher Board was the first board since the General Election and Purdah (the official pre-election period between the election announcement and final results which places restrictions of civil servants) and we were delighted to hear of the positive outcome. We are working to a conversion date of November 1st 2017 and I will provide you with an update in the new school year. The opportunities for collaboration and professional development that will be made possible through the Trust will benefit all pupils and we are incredibly excited about the possibilities for our future working together.
The Governors of Werrington Primary School wish to consult on the proposal to convert to Academy Status and establish the Soke Multi Academy Trust. Please see the attached information regarding this consultation.
Another Brilliant Night At Grafham for Year 5
Well done to all our cross country runners who competed at the Werrington Joggers Primary School Relay Competition this morning Saturday 8th March 2014.
All our teams competed with great determination showing sensitivity for their team members particularly on the team lap. It was wonderful to see you all look after each other giving super encouragement along the way.
We are very proud of you all!
