Peterborough infant school joins academy trust

Dogsthorpe Infant School in Central Avenue joined the Hampton Academies Trust at the start of the month.

The school caters for children in early years, as well as Years 1 and 2.

It was last inspected by Ofsted in December 2019 and is rated as a ‘Good’ school.

The trust said it was “super delighted” to be running the school.

It added: “Dogsthorpe Infant School is a very happy and successful school and we very much look forward to working together and building upon the excellent foundations in place at both school and trust level.

“We anticipate that there will be increasing collaboration between DIS and the other HAT primary schools (Hampton College Primary and Hampton Lakes Primary School).

“A huge warm welcome to Mrs Waters (headteacher) and all staff at DIS. We look forward to getting to know everyone even better.”
