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.

📚✨ A truly magical day at the British Library! Our Year 4 and Year 5 pupils had the honour of meeting Her Majesty Queen Camilla during the first royal visit to the library in nine years. We couldn't be prouder of how confidently and respectfully they represented our school. 👑📖❤️ 33 Likes

Photos from Rowdown Primary School's post 📚✨ Six children from Year 4 and Year 5 were invited to the British Library’s Fairy Tales exhibition as part of the National Year of Reading celebrations. During the event, Her Majesty Queen Camilla joined the children for storytelling, and our pupils represented the school brilliantly, speaking with confidence and helping to create a story together. We were especially honoured to be the only school to meet Queen Camilla at the event and to be part of the first royal visit to the British Library in nine years. To top off an unforgettable day, the children also met Paddington Bear and enjoyed plenty of hugs and smiles! 📚👑🐻✨ 23 Likes

Photos from Rowdown Primary School's post This week, Rowdown embraced the great outdoors for a fantastic Outdoor Learning Day! 🌿☀️
Every class took their regular lessons outside, proving that learning can happen anywhere. From maths on the playground to writing inspired by nature and science investigations in the fresh air, the children showed brilliant enthusiasm, teamwork and creativity throughout the day.
Outdoor learning encourages curiosity, communication and wellbeing, and it was wonderful to see the children so engaged and excited in a different learning environment. A huge thank you to all staff for making the day such a success! 21 Likes
