We recognise that many schools are beginning to consider their future and to speak with Trusts - we want to be able to answer any questions that you may have.

To enable us to do this, we plan 'Trust Networking events' throughout the year where you can come and learn more about our Trust and speak with our Team. Our last event was a great success with lots of positive feedback. 

If you would like to know more about our next event, please do not hesitate to email us to register your interest office@thesycamoretrust.co.uk 

We are absolutely delighted that Radcliffe Hall C.E./Methodist Primary School have been rated 'Good' by Ofsted. A huge thank you to our wonderful children, staff, parents and carers for their continued hard work, dedication, commitment and support.
