🌟 Sponsor Spotlight: Altus Education Partnership

We are proud to spotlight Altus Education Partnership , one of our valued sponsors of the Rochdale Diversity Awards 2026.

Established in April 2017, Altus Education Partnership is a Multi-Academy Trust founded with a clear commitment to raising aspirations and improving the life chances of young people across the borough of Rochdale and its surrounding areas.

Since its establishment, the Trust has grown to include two primary schools, two secondary schools and Rochdale Sixth Form College, and continues to grow its network, working with more schools across Rochdale and supporting the communities they serve.

When asked about the generous decision to sponsor the Rochdale Diversity Awards 2026, Partnerships Development Manager Jo Howarth King spoke about Altus Education Partnership’s pride in supporting diversity across the borough:

“Altus Education Partnership is proud to sponsor the 2026 Rochdale Diversity Awards as part of our commitment to building inclusive, high-performing academies that reflect and serve their communities.”

"We believe that diversity is a source of strength, and we are dedicated to creating environments where students, staff and communities feel respected and thrive."

"Our support for the Diversity Awards reflects our wider mission — not only to deliver exceptional education, but to act as a civic institution that champions equality, celebrates difference, and helps shape a fairer future for Rochdale."

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Altus Education Partnership for their support and investment in the Rochdale Diversity Awards 2026.

Their commitment to inclusion, equality and opportunity plays an important role in helping us celebrate the people and organisations making a positive difference across our borough.

We’re delighted to invite our community to a special Women-Only Screening of Bilal Lashari’s epic reimagining of the legendary tale of The Legend of Maula Jatt.

From a time when legends were forged in blood and written into the soil, a hero rises.

Maula Jatt, a fierce prizefighter haunted by a tortured past, sets out on a path of vengeance against his arch-nemesis, Noori Natt — the most feared warrior in the land of Punjab. Their bitter rivalry sets the stage for an unforgettable tale of honour, power, love and revenge.

Join us for an morning of cinema, community and one of Pakistan’s most celebrated modern epics — in an exclusive screening for women only.

HAF Day 10 ☀️🎉

To end off a fantastic summer HAF Club, we were delighted to be joined by the Mayor Faisal Rana and Mayoress Iram Faisal of Rochdale 💙 They presented certificates to all the children to celebrate their achievements and took part in some fun craft activities with them.

We were also pleased to welcome Your Trust Rochdale, who came along to get the children involved in a range of exciting racquet sports. 🎾🏸

The children had a brilliant time enjoying the bouncy castle, getting creative and, most importantly, sharing their thoughts and feelings about their HAF experience through our Tree of Kindness activity. 🌳💚 It was wonderful to see so much positive feedback and hear how much the children have enjoyed the summer programme.

A massive thank you to all of our amazing staff and volunteers who worked so hard throughout the summer to make HAF Club such a special and memorable experience for everyone. We couldn’t have done it without you! 👏❤️

From improving local spaces and facilities to creating new opportunities for residents, every suggestion matters. 🏡✨

Thank you for having your say and helping us make sure local people are at the heart of the Pride in Place plan. 💚 Action Together

🕷️🕸️ A Web-Slinging HAF Adventure! 🕸️🕷️

It was an action-packed day for our HAF kids as they headed off to the cinema for an exciting trip to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day! 🎬🍿

The kids had a fantastic time from start to finish. They loved settling in with their popcorn and treats, getting ready for an afternoon full of superhero action, adventure and excitement. 🕷️✨

It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves, sharing plenty of laughs and making great memories together.

We hope everyone had as much fun as Spider-Man himself! 🕸️❤️
