We are currently enjoying our summer break but will be back with a smile on Tuesday 2nd September 2025 to welcome the children back to learning! 

Our ethos is captured perfectly by 1 Corinthians 16:14 – “Let all that you do be done in love.”

St John's and St Chrysostom's Church of England Primary aims to serve the community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practise. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promote Christian values through the experience we offer to all our parents, pupils and staff. 

Two schools with one Christian vision to provide the very best educational experience to prepare our children to engage with their local communities and for secondary education. The two schools have excellent standards of behaviour, value faith and the development of the whole child. Reverend Lee Wood is our parish priest at St Chrysostom's are regularly visits school to lead our collective worship. 

We work hard to plan regular parent events to ensure parents and carers are involved in the life of the school. Parents are invited to be an active part of the school and join us regularly for assemblies, sports events and parental workshop and coffee mornings. We are a 'Rights Respecting School' and are proud to use the UN framework to work with children and families to develop children's understanding of their rights and role as they grow into global citizens. 

Both schools serve a diverse catchment and have a wonderful mix of children and staff from the Greater Manchester area. Our most recent report for St John's CE Primary School is available for download on this page.  We are so proud of all of the children and staff who once again were recognised for the happy atmosphere and high standards of behaviour.

We still have a few spaces to fill so please do contact the school office if you are a parent and would like to arrange a visit.

I look forward to meeting you.
