St Anne's RC Primary School

What St Anne's RC Primary School does

St Anne's RC Primary School is a voluntary aided Catholic primary school located in Crumpsall, Manchester, England, operating under the Salford Diocese. It serves children from Nursery through Year 6 (ages 3-11), with staff of approximately 25 employees across teaching, SEND support, safeguarding, and office functions. The school delivers the full national primary curriculum plus Catholic religious education aligned with the Salford Diocese framework, and has developed a specialist SEND resource provision called The Hive for children with Education, Health and Care Plans. Curriculum delivery is built on three external core technologies: Read Write Inc systematic synthetic phonics for early reading, White Rose Maths Hub plans for mathematics, and now>press>play immersive audio learning resources. The school operates under standard UK primary school hours (8:45am-3:15pm, 32.5 hours per week) and follows Manchester City Council admissions processes.

The school's revenue model is primarily government-funded through state per-pupil allocations via the local authority, as is standard for UK maintained schools. A secondary transaction-based revenue stream comes from school meals, priced at £2.25 per meal for Nursery and Years 3-6, while Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 receive universal free school meals. Sport Premium funding provides supplementary budget of £19,313 (2024-2025) and £20,993 (2025-2026). The school sits within a broader ecosystem of Catholic partnerships including Caritas Salford, CAFOD, Wednesday Word, and the local St Anne's parish, alongside enrichment partners such as Ghyll Head Residential Centre and No Outsiders. Digital infrastructure is lightweight: a Schudio-built website, PA Connect for parent communications, and a calendar system with third-party subscription export. Governance is ecclesiastical, with the Salford Diocese as the parent entity and a Chair of Governors providing oversight.
