# Lowerplace Primary School

   3 June 2026

Lowerplace Primary School’s application, to the DFE, to join Hollingworth Learning Trust has been approved at the Regional Board in April 2026. We are now working closely with the school and Local Authority to ensure a smooth transition for all our people.

The school carried out a full due diligence process and was attracted to our trust values & ethos with the evidence of seeing this in practice across the central service team and our academies.
“We hope to welcome Lowerplace Primary Schools’ parents, staff, governors and most importantly their children, in the Autumn term. We are focussed on this process not impacting on the day to day running of the school and will fully support the school in its school vision and expectations.

The school has been involved in our vision to develop a primary school strategy and has been working closely within our affiliate programme, showing strong leadership and development strategies which we see as an asset to our trust primary offer.”

Darren Randle, CEO, Hollingworth Learning Trust.
