The Laurus Trust is delighted to welcome Norris Bank Primary School to its family of schools.
Based in Heaton Norris, Stockport, Norris Bank is a well-established and much-loved primary school. The school inspires its pupils to fulfil their own unique potential and to develop confidence, independence and resilience for the life ahead of them in a nurturing, supportive and dynamic environment.
The school has a long-standing relationship with Priestnall School, also part of the Laurus Trust, with many of its pupils continuing their educational journey there. Last month, Priestnall announced a very successful set of GCSE results where 65% of all grades were a 5 or above.
This new partnership will strengthen the connection between the two schools, creating a more cohesive and aspirational pathway for children within the Heatons community.
On joining the Laurus Trust, Elena Ponsen, Head of School at Norris Bank Primary School said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be joining the Laurus Trust. It is a privilege to become part of a community so committed to academic excellence and the development of the whole child. We are all excited and look forward to building on the Trust’s strong foundations to support every learner in reaching their full potential and preparing them for the future.”
Linda Magrath OBE, CEO of the Laurus Trust said:
“I am delighted to welcome the pupils and families, and all the staff at Norris Bank into the Laurus family. I look forward to working closely with Elena and the team to ensure that Norris Bank continues to serve its community in providing a high quality, nurturing and inclusive education. It is very exciting to be able to offer a Laurus education to Heatons children from age 4 to 16.”
Ruth Ledder, Chair of Governors at Norris Bank added:
“Norris Bank shares the same values and aspirations for our children as the Laurus Trust. I welcome the professional development opportunities that Laurus will offer to our dedicated staff. I am also excited about the creative partnerships enabling our pupils to flourish in all aspects of their school life”
