It’s been a great start to the academic year for Brian Clarke and lots to update on.

We have had the warmest of welcomes into Mayfield Primary School by Headteacher Mark Couper-Barton and his staff. Mayfield will be our home for this year and we couldn’t be happier. Being based in a primary school allows us to gain tremendous insight into life at KS1 and 2, continue to see children and their teachers in the classroom and perhaps most importantly enjoy the wonderful school dinners!

Welcome Vicky

Towards the end of the last academic year we welcomed Vicky Lawton to the team as my Personal Assistant. Vicky has already been out visiting local primary schools and getting to meet with and speak to pupils and their parents.

Open Evening

We also had a fantastic face to face open evening held at our sister school Blue Coat school attended by over 250 families. It was lovely to finally be able to meet families face to face to discuss and showcase the opportunities Brian Clarke will provide for the young people of Oldham.

I was really touched by the number of people that took the time at the end of my talk to ask questions about the school and also discuss how excited they were.

Over the next few weeks we are continuing to engage with our local primary schools and although it’s not our open day, we will have a presence at Blue Coat school on the Saturday 2nd of October. If you have not yet had chance to attend one of our open events please do come and see us with any questions.

We are pleased to announce that at a special Oldham Council Cabinet meeting, the formal transfer for the land for our new school building has been enacted. This means that work on constructing our innovative new home will start imminently.

As a reminder, our new school will be situated on an easily accessible, town centre site on Booth Street, formally occupied by a Sainsburys supermarket (now demolished). In its place will rise a unique, high quality, light, airy and well-designed building, rich with colour, that will inspire the whole school community and lift aspirations.

It is our ambition that the building will include an original and unique stained-glass window, designed and produced by our patron Brian Clarke. This will celebrate our vision and values, shining light into our pupils’ learning and out into the community.
