St. Luke's CE Primary school provides a journey to discover 'life in all its fullness'. John 10:10. Where children flourish, are happy and succeed. Our distinct Christian values: friendship, love, trust, patience, forgiveness and respect are woven throughout the day, the learning, the gathering, the school.
Our school vision and associated values are firmly rooted in Christian theology and teachings. Our Christian vision is the modern-day trust deed of the purpose of our school and honours the gift of the building. Through our vision and practise we are living up to its foundation and enable all pupils and adults to flourish and grow without barriers.
In 1811, Joshua Watson established the National Society for promoting the education for the poor, following the principles of the church in England and Wales. In 1815, the National Society opened St Luke's School on York Street in Heywood. In 1859, the school moved to Queens Park Road. In 1970, the first phase of the new St. Lukes was built.
