Welcome to St. Gregory's Catholic Primary School A heartfelt welcome to our happy, vibrant, and flourishing school community. At St. Gregory s, we are proud to be a Voluntary Aided Catholic Primary School, offering a nurturing and inspiring education for children aged 4 to 11.
With seven single-aged classes from Reception to Year Six and 204 wonderful children currently on roll, we are a close-knit school family where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to shine. Our school is supported by Lancashire Local Education Authority and the Liverpool Archdiocesan Trustees.
At the heart of everything we do are the values of our Catholic faith, which shape the warm, caring, and respectful atmosphere that makes St. Gregory's so special. We cherish our strong links with our parish community at St. Gregory's Weldbank and our partner secondary school, Holy Cross Catholic High School, where many of our pupils continue their journey.
