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.

Students from Outwood Academy Shafton have successfully taken the lead on the Age UK Christmas Hamper Appeal, creating and donating 35 festive hampers to bring comfort and joy to vulnerable older people in the local community.
