From the Christ Church CofE Primary School
Being the Executive Headteacher of Christ Church C.E. and Lewis Street Primary School makes me incredibly proud.
The oldest school in Salford, Christ Church CE Primary School, was founded in 1860.
Since we have been educating the children of Patricroft for nearly 160 years, we have come to the conclusion that partnership, accountability, and trust create better chances for all students through support and challenge amongst schools.
We think that a youngster who develops a love of learning is more likely to progress well, and a child who advances well is more likely to carry these skills throughout life.
We are dedicated to helping our kids grow academically, physically, emotionally, and socially. To that end, we provide them with the best possible learning opportunities through numerous trips (including residential ones), visitors, and a cutting-edge curriculum that combines skills and knowledge with intriguing themes and resources.
There are numerous possibilities for parents to learn about and participate in their children's education.
We are overjoyed that our SIAMS inspection resulted in a "OUTSTANDING" rating for us. Excellent care and support are provided for both students and families, who are positioned at the heart of this warm and inclusive community and fostered as being valuable and special in God's eyes.
