Hawthorns Grand Opening
On Friday 6th December, Hawthorns School and New Bridge MAT celebrated the opening of the new school in Mottram.
The school has been home to staff and pupils since the beginning of term, but this was an occasion to celebrate coproduction in Tameside.
Students from Samuel Laycock provided the catering for guests, whilst New Bridge College students from the Destiny Pathway took care of the photography needs.

Jess Haslam, from the Department for Education, had this to say about the event:
That was a fabulous event. Thank you for the invitation to share your celebration. It was lovely to meet the parents and see the children.
The parents were clearly delighted with the school and the progress of their child.
The school is designed and resourced so well. There's clearly been some great planning about what supports children's wellbeing.
This was a great event and a huge thank you must go to everyone involved in the organisation and planning.
What a fitting way to mark the opening of such a brilliant school.
