This includes reducing the number of new pupils the school takes in every year, and reviewing the use of the school estate.
In a statement on the school website, she adds: “Thank you all for your unfailing support and I want to thank the staff who have not faltered in their work to give your children the outcomes they deserve. The whole community should be incredibly proud of all that has been achieved and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”
Campaigner Jo Williams said it was ‘incredible news’. “St Mary’s has been part of the Lancashire Hill community for years, now it will continue to be for years to come,” she added. “We welcome the decision made by the Diocese of Salford for St Mary’s to remain open and to become part of the Diocese of Salford’s Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust. By joining the trust we hope that the school will quickly improve on the work already undertaken by the council, governors and school leaders to increase the quality of education for pupils attending the school.”
