They said: “Committed to nurturing the potential of every student, Selattyn CE Primary School has always prioritised the highest standards of education, with a deep-seated belief in placing students at the heart of its mission.

“By aligning with the Marches Academy Trust, the school aims to strengthen its primary expertise and fortify the existing partnership between member schools, with a specific focus on advancing creative curriculum initiatives.

“Joining the Trust presents an array of opportunities for innovation and the sharing of best practices among staff members, ensuring a dynamic learning environment for both educators and students alike.
