FACT Trust - Home

A very warm welcome to Our Trust

A Trust formed in April 2014 by Fairchildes Primary School, with our neighbours, Rowdown Primary, joining us in June of the same year. In September 2018, Monks Orchard Primary School in Shirley became the third school in the Trust.
Our motivation for forming the Trust in 2014 was to make a positive difference for the children in our local community.
It is our wish that the educational experience of children attending the schools within the Trust are broadly similar. To this end, whilst retaining our own identity, we work in close partnership to secure the provision of outstanding levels of education for our pupils.

We are now working with our School Council to decide where our generous donations can make the biggest difference in our local community.

Our Nursery children had so much fun during Bucket Time! They were engaged, excited and full of anticipation as they discovered new vocabulary linked to the exciting resources hidden inside the bucket. 🌟
The children showed fantastic sitting, listening and attention skills, joining in with enthusiasm and enjoying every moment of their learning. 💬👀👏
What a wonderful way to learn through curiosity, excitement and play! ❤️ 17 Likes
