The Samara Trust was founded in March 2018 by Clutton C of E Primary School, Little Sutton C of E Primary School and Upton Heath C of E Primary School. Whilst we are a family of schools, working together to enrich the lives of our children, our schools retain their individual distinctiveness and character. We are proud to introduce our Trust schools to you.
Clutton Church of England Primary School is a very small, rural primary school with around 50 pupils, located on the outskirts of Chester and Wrexham, close to Tattenhall and Broxton in the Cheshire countryside. Many of the children who attend Clutton travel to school from nearby villages and towns. Clutton Primary School has a strong record of academic success and a large outdoor space for the children, including a multi use games area, field, trim trail and forest school area.
The Executive Principal of Clutton C of E Primary School is Zoe Carciero, who joined The Samara Trust in January 2020. Clutton Primary School has been established in the village of Clutton for over 180 years, with deeds showing that Clutton Primary School was sold to the parish in 1837.
