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. 

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.

Breakfast Club  - formal notice to change our breakfast club offer. 

From 1st April 2026 our breakfast clubs will have new arrangements for the Summer term 2026.

St Johns CE Primary : children can access free breakfast club (booking in advance) from 8.10am each day.  This allows for 30 minutes of free breakfast club every school day. 

St Chrysostom's CE Primary School : children will access a free breakfast club (booking in advance) from 8.10am each day.  This allows for 30 minutes of free breakfast club every school day. If parents wish to drop off sooner then the club will be open from 7.45am (as it currently is) but there will be a £1.50 daily charge for this early childcare. This means parents will be paying less per day than at present.  Good news! 

More details will be shared via email nearer the time to signpost parents to the booking system.
