Strategic Development

All the schools in Cheshire Academies Trust use a unique approach to strategic school development called SQM.

Strategic Quality Management is a step by step methodology to create a strategic plan, developed by Dr Bill Snaith. SQM is flexible, self-checking, self-moderating, risk aware and iterative. It ensures an engaging and practical, coherent plan acknowledging the inherent risks in achieving it, and avoiding the vagueness and emptiness of ‘strategic language’. With SQM the Cheshire Academies Trust has a centralised strategic planning structure. 

Here we can show both the factors that will be critical to the success of our School Improvement Strategy ( CSFS) and the priority projects which will help us achieve our goals.

Admissions Policy for Rock Ferry Primary School 2026-27

Dear parents and carers


In line with the statutory duty of admissions authorities to consult if changes are proposed to admissions arrangements, please find the proposed Admissions Policy for Rock Ferry Primary School 2026-27 under news. 


The updated policy has been updated to reflect that it will be Cheshire Academies Trust that will be the admissions authority for the school and includes an addition to the over-subscription criteria and a change in the tie breaker section.


We invite you to comment on the proposed policy in the consultation period which will run from 3rd December 2024 to January 14th 2025.  Please forward any comments with the subject line ROCK FERRY ADMISSIONS POLICY 2026 to debbie.tomkinson@cheshireacademiestrust.co.uk.   


All comments submitted to us will be considered by our board of trustees after the end of the consultation period.


Best Wishes


Ms Radley
