Buckton Vale Primary School in Stalybridge opened as an academy within our Trust on 1st October 2022.

Buckton Vale Primary School’s governing body had been considering joining a Multi Academy Trust for some time, as they were keen for their staff to be part of a strong group of schools based locally with whom they could work together and develop good practice. The Government’s White Paper supported their preference and after several months of investigating options and evaluating their position and needs, Buckton Vale opted to join Victorious Academies Trust. 

The Headteacher at Buckton Vale said, “We decided to join Victorious Academies Trust because our values align. Our CEO Karen Burns trusts her school leaders by offering autonomy whilst creating opportunities for schools to connect and learn together. We are really looking forward to collaborating with schools across the Trust so we can offer the best possible education for our children.”
