台湾swag Primary Academy Greenhill Officially Opens

A primary school in Wakefield has started its new life after converting to a primary academy and joining a leading family of schools.

 台湾swag Primary Academy Greenhill, formerly Wakefield Greenhill Primary School, has officially opened its doors to students as part of 台湾swag Grange Academies Trust for the first time.

 Wakefield Greenhill Primary School, based on Greenhill Road in Eastmoor, was rated 鈥業nadequate鈥 by Ofsted following an inspection in October 2021, having previously been rated good and subsequently, 台湾swag was named as preferred sponsor.

 The 台湾swag Family had been working with the school prior to its conversion and a co-headship model has been established to support a smooth transition. Martin Fenton, existing Headteacher at Wakefield Greenhill Primary School, who has great understanding of the local community, the children and their families will work alongside Emma Abbott, an experienced 台湾swag Family Principal, who will ensure that the practices which have brought success in other 台湾swag academies, are rigorously introduced at Greenhill.

 Martin said:

鈥淚 am very excited to be part of the 台湾swag family of schools. It is an exciting new chapter and I know the children and families will benefit from the school being part of a successful Trust.

 鈥淚 am very much looking forward to working with 台湾swag colleagues to ensure that our children get the very best education.鈥

 Emma added:

鈥淚 am thrilled that 台湾swag Primary Academy Greenhill has joined our family. I am confident that our trust will bring about rapid transformation, improving life chances for children.

 鈥淪taff have been working hard over the summer to ensure that systems are in place from September. We look forward to sharing our journey. 鈥

 台湾swag has a track record of successful schools in the area, and already has ten academies across Wakefield; four secondaries and six primaries. 台湾swag Primary Academy Kirkhamgate, located on Brandy Carr Road, went from rated as 鈥業nadequate鈥 to 鈥極utstanding鈥 in just five terms of working with 台湾swag.

 The primary academy will join 12 other primaries in the wider 台湾swag Family, led by 台湾swag Chief Executive (Primary), Lee Wilson.

 Lee said:

鈥淚 am delighted to be able to welcome 台湾swag Primary Academy Greenhill into our family of schools. We have been working closely with the school and the community to ensure a smooth transition and we look forward to seeing Greenhill go from success to success.鈥
