The Christmas magic has been felt across all ten MAT schools this month.  We have seen and heard some wonderful nativity and Christingle performances, admired the artistic talent in their Christmas displays and have even smelled some wonderful Christmas baking!  We wish all our MAT family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Ferncumbe C of E Primary School had some fabulous news that they are the fifth best primary school in Warwickshire based on the government’s latest preliminary performance figures for state-funded primary schools.  Well done to all at The Ferncumbe!

St Nicholas C of E Primary school recently shared their school's promotional video  We think it perfectly captures the school and its ethos.  To view the video please click here.

If you would like to see other school videos links to them can be found here.

Three of our MAT Schools, Coughton C of E Primary School Henley in Arden C of E Primary School and Temple Grafton C of E Primary School have all had solar panels fitted to their roofs.  This is all a part of our Sustainability Policy and our move towards Net Zero. They also have an educational value as all schools have a display screen showing the amount of energy being generated.

Temple Grafton C of E Primary School are delighted with their Ofsted Inspection.  The school was judged Good in all categories. "Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school. They describe it as a friendly place. The school is at the heart of this village community. There is a shared understanding of the school’s vision"  This is exactly how we see Temple Grafton and we are proud of their staff, pupils and families.  To read the full report click here.
