Old Hall Drive Academy

Old Hall Drive Academy is a 3-11 primary school located in East Manchester and is one of three academies within the Wise Owl Trust. Our academy is driven to breaking down barriers and providing our pupils with the tools needed to face challenges in learning and life. Our motto of ‘Together Everyone Achieves More’ is fundamental to our everyday practice in our school.

The staff at Old Hall Drive are hardworking and committed to making a genuine difference to our children, their families and the community we serve. We have high expectations of all of our children and their future successes and as part of our bespoke Character Education offer, we want to prepare our children for the ‘test of life, not a life of tests’. Our vision is to remove barriers, raise aspirations and build futures.

Graded as ‘good’ in January 2019, the staff at Old Hall Drive have developed a knowledge and skills rich curriculum construct, putting our children at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to encourage curiosity and develop a love of learning.

We are committed to continually developing our staff professionally and provide high quality CPD through a combination of in school training, external training and instructional coaching as well as trust wide CPD.

Old Hall Drive is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff to share that commitment.
