North Star Federation 

The North Star Federation began on 1st January 2018, between Rushall Primary School and Oakwood School.  Both former school governing bodies were disbanded and a new federation governing body was created, from a mixture of governors from both previous governing bodies.  This website contains all relevant information for the federation.  Information relating to the schools can be found on the individual school websites.
