How does a small school plan effectively for mixed-age classes? The Meadows Primary School has focused on careful curriculum planning, learning strategies and flexible grouping to support children across age groups.

Learners at Tottington High School have been busy caring for their community! They helped campaign for a bus commemorating former student Olivia Campbell-Hardy, joined residents for bowls and worked with Tottington Litter Pickers. Some great examples of community in action.

By listening to pupils, investing in staff and creating more opportunities to perform, Streethay Primary School has strengthened its music provision and achieved the Music Partnership Excellence in Music Bronze Award.

Every Shaw Education Trust school is unique. We support each school to develop what works best for its community while benefiting from shared expertise, collaboration and professional development across our family of schools.

At Moorhill Primary School, technology, thoughtful teaching and consistent encouragement are helping pupils build confidence and strengthen their mathematical fluency. Discover how this approach is making a difference across the school.

Great schools are built by great people. At Shaw Education Trust, colleagues are supported with high-quality CPD, leadership development, coaching and opportunities to learn from experienced practitioners throughout their careers.

Every improvement starts with a simple question: how can we help more pupils succeed? Kidsgrove Secondary School's 'Frost v Till' initiative has strengthened attendance, encouraged positive behaviour and created a culture where pupils are motivated to achieve together.
