Academy Trust Conversions

Following our consultations earlier this year regarding our proposed partnership of five Manchester based primary schools joining together to form the Connect Alliance Trust, we are delighted that this as now been agreed and confirmed by the Department of Education.

Our newly formed Connect Alliance Trust, which became official from Monday 1st September 2025, consists of Barlow Hall Primary School, Beaver Road Primary School, Brookburn Community Primary School, Cavendish Community Primary School and Northenden Community School.

We are excited to be working collaboratively with all our stakeholders over this new academic year to bring our Trust vision and values into fruition across all the schools within our Trust. We are currently in the process of developing revised communication systems for the Trust, including a new Connect Alliance Trust website, which is coming soon.
