Welcome to our website. I hope you will find it a useful source of information about Moss Side Primary School. My colleagues and I are proud to serve the community of Moss Side and have done so since 1982, building up strong links within the community in the process.
Many of our families have had connections with the school which stretch back to its early existence and this continuity has allowed unique aims and values to be embedded in the fabric of school life. In order to fulfil our aims, staff provide a rich and vibrant curriculum for all our pupils.
We have a strong emphasis on pupil development in English and maths, supported by consistently good scores in SATs. We are especially proud of the progress which our pupils make in these subjects from the moment that they step through the school doors.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
