Mrs A O'Dwyer - Headteacher
Welcome to St Francis R.C. Primary School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Catholic community of St Francis, Gorton. We are a one form entry school in east Manchester. We are part of the Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust and we have strong links with Salford Diocese. We work closely with our parents, parish and community aiming to provide the best possible, holistic Catholic education for our children. We believe that with God everything is in our reach and so we aim high. We follow in the footsteps of Jesus who is always our guide.
We are a very friendly and welcoming team who are always willing to help and support each child and their family. Our pupils are friendly, polite and caring. They work hard, make progress and enjoy their learning
Our curriculum intent is to take the children on a journey from nursery through to year 6. It is an ambitious curriculum that has been developed with the children’s starting points in mind and adapted from the National Curriculum to ensure it is broad, balanced and challenging.
