Established over 90 years ago, this ISJC accredited school prepares children for entry into former Direct Grant and State Grammar Schools as well as the major independent schools in the North West. Although the success rate is high, children are not crammed but encouraged to achieve their full potential.
In January 1997 the school moved to a new site and into a fully refurbished and newly equipped building. Science, Art/Technology and Information Technology facilities are now second to none for this age group and recent inspections by OFSTED and the Independent Schools Joint Council have complimented the school on the level of resources and on the standard of teaching and learning.
The previous building has been tastefully converted into a beautifully equipped full time Day Nursery catering for children and babies from 0-3yrs of age - 52 weeks a year and this opened in April 1997.
Children may start at 3 in the Main School Nursery, part time or full time by mutual agreement between parents and teachers.
In the main school, besides the full range of primary subjects there is a range of activities which include academic subjects as well as pastoral/sporting activities. Staff take great pride in the standard of the children who leave the school.
Pupils are examined at regular intervals and close liaison exists between home and school. Games for boys are soccer and cricket while girls play rounders and netball. Juniors have athletics in summer and all children from six years old are taught swimming. The new fully enclosed outdoor multi-purpose hard area has greatly enhanced the games facility provision, as has the large indoor sports hall.
