Consultation on the proposed Federation of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, Corsham

The Governing Bodies of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, Corsham, have voted in favour of proceeding to public consultation on a resolution to establish a Federation of the two schools with effect from 1 st April 2021.  Since January 2019, the schools have been sharing expertise and co-ordinating their work as members of the Diocesan Camino Partnership.  The schools have developed a much closer relationship and with the support of the Diocesan Department for Schools and Colleges and both Local Authorities, the Governing Bodies of both schools have been working together to explore the benefits of bringing this co-operative association into a formal arrangement for the schools.  Before deciding whether to move forward, it is the duty of the Governing Bodies to consult widely with stakeholders and interested parties.  More information can be found on the  attached consultation and FAQs documents below:
