About

"Love one another. As I have loved you… By this everyone will know that you are my disciples." John 13: 34-35 Welcome to St Luke's C of E Primary St Luke's Church of England Primary School is a voluntary aided school in the Diocese of Liverpool. We are a happy, caring school which celebrates and ensures that every child is valued as an individual.

The partnership between home and school is vital in supporting children's learning and we pride ourselves on being a listening school, which actively encourages parental and carer involvement. With our Christian beliefs and practices, we aim to serve the community by providing an education of the highest quality.

Faith is very important to us and we endeavour to live out our Christian values in our everyday lives. Most of all, it is our children who make St. Luke's a special place, and we are proud of all their achievements. We work hard to foster a secure and enjoyable environment which excites, challenges and motivates each child, enabling them to reach their full potential.
