We are a Catholic school of just over 200 children located on the outskirts of Manchester City Centre. We pride ourselves on being a happy, caring and welcoming community, where the learning environment and the wide range of opportunities offered, help every child reach their full potential and make the most of the gifts and talents given to them by God.
Our dedicated and committed team of clergy, staff and governors work closely together to make sure that the children in our care are a respected part of our Christian community, one where they feel valued and secure.
We hope you enjoy browsing through some examples of our work, play and achievements and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of school staff. Below you will find instructions on how to add calendars from different platforms:
