Home > Case studies > Oakmeadow CE Primary School

Oakmeadow Primary School joined Marches Academy Trust in May 2020, in the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic. The school had seen success on its own, but wanted to join the Trust based on a mutual sharing of values.

Continued growth and success

Oakmeadow Primary School is a large, successful primary school with a Good Ofsted judgment. After making the decision to join a Multi Academy Trust, the school chose to join Marches Academy Trust as it felt the values of the Trust were the best fit with its own ethos. Since joining the Trust, the school has continued to excel and strengthen. The Headteacher of the School was appointed to a Trust Executive role in 2021, allowing for the transition of the Deputy Head into the Headship role at the school.

The school has received support from the Trust’s capital funding to improve external facilities for children in the EYFS stage.
