• Katie Hague
  Executive Head Teacher
  Katie Hague

  Katie joined The Orchards Federation in September 2024. Prior to this, she had been a Head Teacher and Executive Head Teacher in Primary education for over a decade. This included schools with SEND bases. Katie has taught across public and private sectors locally and internationally. She also works as a School Improvement Partner for schools across the North West.

  Katie worked in Private Nurseries before entering teaching. Her passion for Early Years has continued and she chairs the Early Education Improvement Group for Bolton Local Authority. She also sits on the Early Years SEND Development group and the Early Years subgroup of Schools Forum.

  Katie believes strongly that every child deserves an education which allows them to flourish. Any barriers for children should never create a ceiling on ambition. All schools within The Orchards Federation are beacons of inclusion with highly committed staff. Working with our families who want the best for their children is key to our success, in addition to strong multi agency working.

  The power of collaboration is key to the success of The Orchards Federation, both within our schools and across Bolton and beyond.
