PROSPERE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
SPRING ..............2 2023-2024
Dear members of our Trust community, I can see that spring is nearly here - I hope that you have been able to enjoy a few sunny days. The map below shows Manchester Local Authority and where our schools are placed within it. I am enjoying spending some time in all of our schools this term, alongside the Chair of the Trust, and hearing about the wonderful work that is going on. Our two new schools are shown on the map. Pear Tree Specialist Support High School is based in Cheadle Hulme in Stockport and is our first Prospere School based outside of Manchester - but you can see how near it is to some of our other schools. It is a 133 place special school for children and young people with very significant additional needs. We appointed our first job share Headteachers to lead the school - Rachel Hughes and Katie Jones who are both currently Deputies at Piper Hill. Congratulations to both of them. The school will open in September 2024 with a cohort of up to 50 pupils. The new build is coming on really well.
Trust School Locations Orchard House Specialist Support High School will open in September 2025 and is a 150 place special school for children and young people with very significant additional needs. The school is based in Miles Planning. The process is well on the way and contractors have been appointed. Ground works will start soon. The two schools are a good fit for the Trust and the high quality work across both mainstream and special schools continues to develop and is really effective. We are work hard at being a truly inclusive Trust. Best wishes, Linda Jones, CEO Andy Park, Executive Headteacher Dave Bell, Executive Headteacher
