We are delighted to welcome you to the Radcliffe Primary School website . On behalf of the children, staff and governors, we would like to welcome you to our school website. This website is designed to give you a flavour of school life. You will soon be able to see why we are very proud of this wonderful, vibrant school.
At Radcliffe, we value every child- they are at the heart of every decision that we make. We are proud of the high expectations and standards that we uphold, which support the children to develop socially, emotionally, academically and physically so that they can achieve their full potential.
Our dedicated staff have been working hard to design a new curriculum in preparation for September 2022. They have planned opportunities for children to learn through exciting and interesting topics to ensure that: children are engrossed and engaged in their learning, know and remember more in every curriculum subject whilst building upon their progress year on year.
