St Mary's C.E Primary School is a Voluntary Controlled Church of England school at the heart of its community. St Mary’s is a very special place. We are an outstanding school where everyone works hard to encourage children to enjoy learning, achieve their best, behave well, support each other and grow in confidence. We aim to help children to grow into confident, talented and articulate young people.

We are an exciting and vibrant school where children enjoy learning and make excellent progress. In our school we seek to meet the needs of each individual child. We celebrate diversity and teach children to recognise and respect people’s differences as well as similarities. St Mary’s recognises the significant role of parents in helping their children to progress and greatly values the contributions parents and governors make to the life of the school.

St Mary's has been awarded 'Teaching School' status in recognition of work with wider partnerships, teacher training and work with its local and wider community. We are part of a wider 'Teach Manchester' alliance which includes teaching schools from early years to sixth form.
