We are a very successful, happy primary school built on Christian beliefs and values.  Our last OFSTED inspection was in 2023, and we were delighted to be rated as good.  We joined Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust in October 2018.

Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust (LDST) is a rapidly growing multi-academy trust at the next crucial stage of its development. It was established in 2014 by the Diocese of Liverpool to provide its schools with a Multi Academy Trust that has the vision and values of the Church of England at its heart.
