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.

Last week, our Year 6 pupils took to the stage for a fantastic performance of Bugsy Malone! 🌟
They wowed us with their confidence, talent and enthusiasm, bringing the show to life with brilliant acting, singing and dancing. We are incredibly proud of every single child for all of their hard work and dedication in putting on such an entertaining performance.
A huge thank you to our staff, families and everyone who supported the production—it was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of their primary school journey. Well done, Year 6! 👏🎭 41 Likes
