Mellor Primary School is very much a school at the heart of the community. Presently we have over 220 pupils from nursery age to year 6. In October 2011 the school became a primary Academy; the first primary school in Stockport to convert independently. This means we are no longer controlled by the Local Authority, but funded directly from the Department of Education.
This gives us much greater flexibility and freedoms to manage the school to meet the specific needs of our pupils. We have a total of 7 classes from Reception through to year 6. Our pupil admission number is set at 30 per year. In addition we also have a 18 place Nursery with flexibility to use 15 hours or 30 hours how you wish.
The school day starts at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm. We run an Out-of-School Care Scheme which offers care before and after school hours from 7.30am until 6.00pm.
