Old Hall Drive

Children from @OldHallDrive had a fantastic ‘Stay and Read’ morning with their Reception parents. They were also able to see what their child had been learning and writing about in literacy. #Reading #readingcommunity #literacy #EYFS

Last week @OldHallDrive had a fantastic time celebrating #WorldBookDay as did all our schools across Wise Owl Trust.📚 From amazing costumes to sharing our favourite stories, it was a brilliant day filled with reading and imagination.

Year 1 pupils from @OldHallDrive recently enjoyed an exciting trip to @BlackpoolZoo as part of their Science topic, Animals Including Humans. The visit deepened their understanding of habitats, animal characteristics, and how different species live and grow. #science #Nature #WOT

Year 2 from @OldHallDrive have been working hard to create their own tongue twister poems. With lots of #resilience and #positivity, the children proudly presented them to Year 3! The teachers were amazed by their confidence and creativity. Well done Year 2! #poem #creativearts

We’re proud to share that Wise Owl Trust has been shortlisted for Community Trust of the Year at the #MATExcellenceAwards2026. This recognition reflects the dedication of our incredible team and the strength of the communities we serve. #CommunityImpact #WOT

The build up to Christmas for @OldHallDrive Snug Group children has been absolutely amazing. They’ve had so much fun enjoying festive activities, sharing smiles, and making memories together. It’s been wonderful to see their excitement grow each day and to celebrate it with them

As a trust with mental health and well-being at our core, Wise Owl Trust marked #brewmonday by gifting every member of staff across our academies a POSITIVI-TEA goodie bag. A simple gesture to remind our teams they are valued and supported. @samaritans #Respect #positiviTea

As part of their outdoor adventurous activities, Year 5 at @PeelHallPrimary had an amazing time this morning at @SalfordWSC. They were able to have a go at paddle boarding, kayaking and really worked hard to develop their team building skills! The weather was beautiful for it and the children represented their school and Wise Owl Trust fantastically. #WOT #kayaking @BriscoeLaneWOT @ParkViewWOT @seymour_road @OldHallDrive

Last Thursday the Shadow Youth Board held a meeting at @seymour_road . The children first had a workshop with @WN1Lighting , a sustainability group, who trained the children on Solar Energy and LED Eco-lights: their benefits, and how much energy we could save our Trust. The children then completed a session on 'Meeting Etiquette' - how to talk the talk and walk the walk in the boardroom! The children then delivered their suggestions in a Board meeting with our CEO @MurfinSophie and Trust Governor Jim Battle. They were really impressed, with facts such as "The trust lighting project will save up to 70 tonnes of C02....enough to drive from Manchester City To Manchester United 70,312 times!!!" The children have suggested multi-purpose bins in every classroom, playground and field at our schools, as well as an 'upcycling' project within our schools. @BriscoeLaneWOT @PeelHallPrimary @ParkViewWOT @OldHallDrive #WOT #WOW #youth #leaders #future #boardroom
