An academy trust which was started six years ago by two Pudsey primary schools is set to welcome its seventh member.
Morley Victoria Primary School in Morley became the latest school to join the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust.
The staff team is led by the headteacher, Jo Wood.
With over 450 pupils across 14 classes, Morley Victoria Primary School is the seventh primary school to join the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust. It joins Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School, Pudsey Waterloo Primary School, Calverley Parkside Primary School, Armley Park Primary School, Manor Wood Primary School and Spring Bank Primary School.
“We are so excited to be joining the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust” said Mrs Wood. “We believe that Owlcotes’ values align with our own as a school and we are looking forward to being part of a like-minded community.”
Lesley West, CEO of the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust, said: “Morley Victoria Primary School is a fantastic school with a commitment to achieving the best for its pupils and the school community.
“We are so pleased to welcome them to the Owlcotes family. I have no doubt that Morley Victoria will fit in perfectly and be a valuable addition to our family of schools”.
Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust was established in March 2018 by its two founding primary schools, Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School and Pudsey Waterloo Primary School.
Morley Victoria Primary School’s conversion to join the Owlcotes Trust will be marked by the Trust providing a £500 fund for Morley Victoria Primary School to provide a friendship bench, as chosen by the pupils at the school.
