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 🎭✨ What a fantastic Carnival weekend for Rowdown!
A huge thank you to our children, who worked hard creating decorations for our entries, and to the members of staff who gave up their time to help bring everything together.
A special well done to our choir, who dedicated their time to rehearsals and sang beautifully on our float, and to our talented pupils who represented the school so brilliantly in the talent show.
Thank you also to our families who joined the procession and supported our float and talent show performers throughout the weekend.
It was wonderful to see the whole Rowdown community come together to showcase such creativity, talent and school spirit and we were incredibly honoured to win the Best School category for our float. 💙✨ 36 Likes

It has been so busy at Monks Orchard recently with trips, visits and the heat so we thought long and hard about the best video to share with you to make up for our absence. We had Outdoor Learning Day in May (luckily not in this heat!) and it was great to use all of the outside space we have at Monks. A big thank you to Ms Wiernek for organising this day for us! 11 Likes

Photos from Fairchildes Primary School's post We were delighted to welcome Pastor Tom from Life City Church, New Addington, who spent time with our Year 6 pupils. He shared information about the church's Friday Night Youth Group and invited the children to come along when they're old enough. The session also included some fantastic group games, and everyone had lots of fun getting involved!
The Youth Group is open to young people aged 11 and over.
👉 Please see the attached flyer, including the QR code, for more information if your child is interested in attending. 13 Likes

Photos from Fairchildes Primary School's post Children from across our Trust – Fairchildes, Monks Orchard Primary School and Rowdown Primary School – had a fantastic morning at Fairfield Halls for the London Schools Literature Festival.
They were captivated as author Joseph Coelho and illustrator Fiona Lumbers brought two stories from the beloved Luna Loves series to life through a wonderful live reading.
Our pupils also had the chance to meet Joseph Coelho, making the experience even more special! 14 Likes
