About

As a Church School in Collyhurst, we embrace both our religious and geographical heritage.

We are extremely proud of Collyhurst's role in supplying red sandstone to build some of Manchester's most familiar landmarks, such as Manchester Cathedral, St Anne's Church, and the Roman Fort in Castlefield, which form the foundations of the city and support the community to which we belong.

Our vision statement is inspired by Jesus' teaching about the wise and foolish builders: 'Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.' (Matthew 7:24) Throughout the Bible, God is likened to a rock.

In God, we recognise the stability and power that enables and encourages each individual to flourish. Inspired by Jesus' example and by our church community, we acknowledge that spirituality is innate and seek to provide space for spiritual reflection and growth. Firm foundations are thus to be achieved through connecting with God and connecting with our community.
