**About Us**:
Our schools:
St James' C of E Primary School is a single form, Voluntary Aided primary school in Rusholme, Manchester. Our ethos is captured perfectly by Matthew 22, verse 39 - Love your neighbour. We believe that people who love their neighbours as they do themselves are rich in confidence, resilience, empathy and heart. They are positive people who wish want to make the world a better place, trying to understand others and respecting who they are.

We are a school where everyone is striving for excellence together. We want the best possible outcomes for our children - academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically.

St Philip’s C of E Primary School is a single form, Voluntary Aided primary school in Hulme, Manchester. If you have not already had the opportunity to come to look at our school in action during the school day, our classrooms are hives of activity, full of creativity, learning and laughter, making our school an exciting place to be. At our heart is 1 Corinthians 16:14 - “Let all that you do be done in love.”

It is our school’s priority that the education our children receive will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phase of their education. However, it is equally important that all our children are constantly immersed in wonderful experiences that allow them to grow into enthusiastic and successful individuals.
