A big thank you to Oldham Athletic Community Trust (OACT) for allowing us to celebrate the National League play-off win in School! It was a very exciting afternoon and the students (and staff!) loved having their photo taken with the big trophy.

We are delighted to publish our very first Ofsted report. The report is a testament to the dedication of staff, the support from parents and carers and the Cranmer Education Trust. Thank you to everyone. brian-clarke.org/ofsted
