Pinfold Primary School

What Pinfold Primary School does

Pinfold Primary School is a state-funded primary school located at Hattersley Road East, Hattersley, Hyde, Cheshire (SK14 3NL), serving children aged 3–11 across Nursery, EYFS, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2. The school operates under the Victorious Multi-Academy Trust (Victorious MAT) and delivers a full primary curriculum including core subjects (Literacy, Maths, Science, Computing), foundation subjects (Art, Design Technology, Geography, History, Music, PE, Modern Foreign Languages/Spanish, Religious Education), Forest School outdoor learning, and PSHE. Differentiated offerings include a 5Rs learning framework (Resilience, Resourceful, Reasoning, Responsible, Reflective), a School Games Platinum Award programme, stop-motion animation productions, choir and music programmes, a Pupil Forum for pupil voice, and an NHS Gold Food4Life healthy eating policy.

The school's core technology stack is conventional third-party edtech: PrimarySite for the public website, Arbor for school management information and parent communication/billing, Microsoft Teams for remote learning, plus Purple Mash, TTRockstars, NumBots, White Rose Maths, Oak National Academy, and Seesaw for pupil learning and home learning. None of these are proprietary or AI-native; they are standard tools deployed across UK primary schools.

The business model is fundamentally public-sector grant funded: revenue flows primarily through per-pupil local authority funding, Pupil Premium, and Early Years entitlement routed via Victorious MAT. Ancillary fee streams are small and secondary: KS2 paid school meals at £14.75/week (Reception–Year 2 receive Universal Infant Free School Meals), breakfast club at £1.20/session, and 30-hour nursery extended provision at £40/week for non-eligible families. Catering is outsourced to Chartwells. Admissions are catchment-based rather than commercial; engagement with parents is via the website, Facebook, Twitter, PDF newsletters, Arbor/ParentMail, and in-person events.
