Mrs Wood said: “We are so excited to be joining the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust. We believe that Owlcotes’ values align with our own as a school and we are looking forward to being part of a like-minded community.

“Owlcotes’ comprehensive school improvement offer and commitment to preserving the unique identity of our school was a massive attraction to us and we are excited about the future as part of a multi-academy trust.”

The trust was established in March 2018 by its two founding primary schools, Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School and Pudsey Waterloo Primary School, with the aim of developing a collaborative approach to school improvement, and a commitment to preserving the unique identity of any schools that join.
