The School has a fine tradition of academic success going back to its foundation in 1914, and is easily accessible from any part of the South Manchester conurbation.
The staff consists of 14 masters and mistresses who teach in the main their own specialist subjects or age groups. Boys and girls are prepared for entry to the local independent day grammar schools, but the school's main aim is to give all the children a well-rounded education in a caring and stimulating environment. Good manners and thoughtfulness are expected at all times. Each child's progress is regularly monitored and all pupils are encouraged to work hard and exercise self-discipline.
The school accepts boys and girls from 3-4 into its nursery class which is half day or full day. The infant classes are full-time for boys and girls aged 5-7 and the upper school caters for children up to the age of 11.
Besides academic subjects, PE, Art and Music are taught. Tuition is given out of school hours in violin, piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, percussion, cello, clarinet, flute and speech and drama. Other extra-curricular activities include table-tennis, chess, ornithology and outings. Camps, field courses or adventure holidays are run in the summer holidays.
The main games are soccer, netball, cricket, rounders and athletics, with matches played against other local schools.
The school is noted for its happy atmosphere and there is an emphasis on Christian standards and principles.
The school runs a late stay facility which enables children to be supervised until 5.30 each evening.
