The Children of Success Schools Trust was established in March 2013 to formalise the relationship between The Willows Primary School and Haveley Hey Community School in a multi-academy Trust. With a strong Board of Trustees, the Trust has achieved an efficient transition to academy status for the two schools and has successfully purchased a community building next to Haveley Hey School known as ‘The Bridge’. With the support of Manchester City Council the Trust has opened a two year old provision at The Bridge which is flourishing and preparing disadvantaged children for school. The Trust also adopts a strong Rights Respecting ethos and has gained Gold status and is a Nurture School.
