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.

Photos from Rowdown Primary School's post ❤️ Year 2 Remembrance Assembly ❤️
Yesterday, our Year 2 children delivered a very special Remembrance Assembly. They spoke beautifully, shared thoughtful words and helped us remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed so much for our country.
Through poems, readings and songs, the children also reminded us of the importance of remembering the families and loved ones who were affected by war.
We are incredibly proud of all the children for their confidence, enthusiasm and respectful participation. A big thank you to our families for their support with costumes and preparation.
We will remember them. 🌺

🦖🥚 Something ROARSOME is happening in The Bridge! 🦖🌿
Our Little Green Dinosaur has been very busy investigating a mysterious dinosaur egg! 👀
The children have loved exploring our dinosaur-themed tuff tray, using magnifying glasses to investigate, developing their curiosity and imagination through sensory play.
This exciting activity links beautifully with our Talk for Writing story, The Little Green Dinosaur, bringing our learning to life in a fun and engaging way!
But the big question is… what could be hiding inside the egg? 🥚🦕💚 3 Likes
