At Whitegate End Primary School and Nursery, we believe that education goes beyond the classroom. Our partnership with Oldham Athletic Community Trust reflects our shared commitment to inclusion, wellbeing, and aspiration for every child.

Through this collaboration, we provide opportunities that inspire children to be active, confident, and resilient learners. OACT’s community-driven approach aligns perfectly with our school values:

• Respect and Inclusion – Together, we create environments where every child feels valued and supported, including those with additional needs.

• Aspiration and Achievement – OACT helps us broaden horizons, encouraging pupils to set ambitious goals both academically and personally.

• Wellbeing and Mental Health – With a focus on physical activity and positive mental health, our partnership complements strategies like Zones of Regulation, ensuring children develop the tools to thrive emotionally.

This partnership brings exciting opportunities such as:

• Sports and fitness programmes that promote teamwork and healthy lifestyles.

• Community engagement projects that strengthen our pupils’ sense of belonging.

• Role models and mentoring to inspire ambition and resilience.

Together, we are building a future where every child at Whitegate End can dream big, stay active, and succeed.
