About us
We pride ourselves on providing a warm and welcoming beginning to your child's education. We are proud of our school, our children and their success.
We believe that Christ Church is a very special place where children enjoy their education and make excellent progress. Christ Church is a vibrant happy school that enables children to grow into confident, articulate and talented individuals. We are committed both to providing a high standard of education and also to sharing the Christian faith in such ways that children recognise its worth.
Our recent Ofsted Inspection (November 2022) confirmed that "Pupils are proud to attend Christ Church and parents speak very positively about the school. Leaders and staff know their pupils and families well." It's the quality of relationships in this school, the way all staff work as a team and the way children treat one another that makes it such a success. This is recognised by stakeholders as being at the heart of this school's work, supporting pupils' learning and fostering an understanding of putting our values into action.
Our Trust motto is grow together, learn forever and our school always works in partnership with parents for the benefit of the children and this is very much part of our ethos - growing and learning together in Christ. We hope our website captures the spirit of our school and allows you to appreciate the quality of education and care given to all our children. https://www.christchurch.bury.sch.uk/
