Owlcotes Multi Academy Trust

Fountain Primary School is an inclusive school which puts children’s learning at the heart of everything they do. Fountain Primary has a commitment to providing children with the skills and attributes to succeed and embrace opportunities, both in school and away from the classroom. The staff team is led by the Headteacher, Mrs Emma Walker.

With over 450 pupils across 14 classes, Fountain Primary School is the latest primary school to join the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust, joining Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School, Pudsey Waterloo Primary School, Calverley Parkside Primary School, Armley Park Primary School, Manor Wood Primary School, Spring Bank Primary School, and Morley Victoria Primary School.

“We are so excited to be joining the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust” said Mrs Walker. “We believe that Owlcotes’ values align with our own as a school and we are looking forward to being part of a like-minded community of leaders and practitioners. Owlcotes’ commitment to preserving the unique identity of our school and comprehensive school support package was a massive attraction to us and we are excited about the future as part of a multi-academy trust”.

Mrs Lesley West, CEO of the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust, said “Fountain Primary School is an amazing school with a commitment to achieving the best for its pupils and the school community. “We are so pleased to welcome them to the Owlcotes Trust as a valuable addition to our family of schools”.

Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust was established in March 2018 by its two founding primary schools, Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School and Pudsey Waterloo Primary School, with the aim of developing a collaborative approach to school improvement, and a commitment to preserving the unique identity of any schools that join. Collaboration is at the heart of the Trust; each school is an equal partner and our dedicated staff are committed to providing an inclusive and ambitious curriculum for all of our pupils. We firmly believe in schools having their own individuality. This preservation of unique identity enables our schools to focus on the key priorities of teaching and learning that are specific to their own school and communities.
