Grange Community Primary School converted to an academy on 1st November 2018, joining the Orwell Multi Academy Trust which comprises of:

• Halifax Primary School
• Handford Hall Primary School
• Springfield Infant School and Nursery
• The Willows Primary School
• Brooklands Primary School
• Grace Cook Primary School and Nursery

We believe that both pupils and staff will benefit from the greater opportunities that formal partnership, through the Trust, will being, which include;

• focused teaching and learning support,
• extending the learning opportunities and activities for pupils,
• enriching the curriculum through partnership working and shared resources,
• enabling the sharing of excellent practice in teaching and learning,
• the professional development of teaching and support staff,
• building mutual support and accountability between the Headteachers and between the Governors, and
• securing cost and resource efficiencies through joint commissioning of services.

We look forward to building a stronger partnership together while remaining a big part of our local community.

The Trust's Teaching School (Orwell Teaching School) is based at Halifax Primary School, Ipswich.
