    Trafford’s Reception Age Children make remarkable healthy weight progress

    Children living in our most disadvantaged communities are more likely to be living with overweight or obesity. However, this year we have seen important improvements, with the differences in the prevalence of excess weight between our most and least disadvantaged children now virtually eliminated in reception aged children.

    Lostock High breaks 100 pupil barrier

    Brilliant news! The new Y7 intake has broken the 100 barrier. That’s more than 20% up on last year’s intake. The impact of recently appointed headteacher Lindsey Brindley is transforming the school together with excellent staff both old and new. As a governor at the school, I’m absolutely delighted. Parents and prospective pupils are seeing the change and choosing a school that will support and facilitate getting children to the place their ambitions demand.
