Didsbury Church of England Primary School
While recognising our need to minister to all the schools within our parish, St James and Emmanuel have particularly close links with our Church School.
Didsbury Church of England Primary School is a voluntary–aided primary school with one class of 30 places in each year from Reception to Year 6 and a 26 place Nursery class. The school has very close links with St James and Emmanuel Church, Didsbury, and encourages applications from families who wish their children to have an excellent primary education underpinned by Christian values.
The ethos statement of the school, as recorded in the ‘Instrument of Government’ by the City Solicitor, is as follows:
“Recognising its historic foundation, the
school will preserve and develop its religious
character, in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church, at parish and diocesan level.
The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality, within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers its pupils.”
These are not simply fine words but are values lived out day-in, day-out by the staff and students of our church school. This is not just our opinion, the latest Ofsed report rated the school as ‘Outstanding’.
St James and Emmanuel are delighted to be continuing a relationship with the school that has spanned many decades as we work with the school to support its day-to-day operation and long term development.
