Merry Christmas to all of our families! We close this week on Friday 20th December for two weeks.

We open again on Tuesday 7th January 2025. 

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. 

Our two schools have been working collaboratively with another local Church of England School in Beswick (Church of England School of the Resurrection) as sharing expertise for staff training.  We have been enjoying monthly sports competitions, poetry slams and a range of other special collaborative projects. 

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.

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.
