Five schools in the Harleston area are celebrating after the creation of a trust that is said will enrich the experiences of their pupils.

The Sancroft Church Schools Trust was officially launched today, and sees a collaboration between Archbishop Sancroft High School and Harleston Primary, Alburgh with Denton Primary, Brockdish Primary and Pulham Primary schools.

Gill Hipwell, chairman of the Sancroft Church Schools Trust, said: 'Forming a trust was the next step in our journey together and the trust allows us to look to the future as a strong cohesive team with the best interests of every young person in our care at the heart of everything we do.

'This is formal acknowledgement of the importance we give to our joint vision and Christian values.'
