On Christmas Eve, Outwood Academy Newbold transformed into a community hub to support local families over the festive period. In a first-of-its-kind initiative for the academy, staff and community volunteers gathered to distribute essential food parcels and Christmas gifts to families facing hardship during the school holidays.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT) has been formally recognised by the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) for achieving the Procurement Excellence Standard Award. This achievement makes OGAT the fourth Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) in the country to secure this quality mark.

Outwood Academy Haydock was filled with music, energy and applause last week as students took to the stage for a spectacular four-night run of the musical Oliver Jr.

Following the success of its first event last year, Outwood Grange Academy has successfully hosted its second Community Christmas Dinner, welcoming local care home residents for an afternoon of festive fun, food, and intergenerational interaction.
