From the Chapel Street Community Primary School
Languages, cultures, and faiths from all over the world come together to learn peacefully at Chapel Street Primary, a school with a vast diversity of students. To ensure our kids succeed, we collaborate with their parents, carers, and the larger community. Children learn best when there are close ties between their homes and their schools, in our opinion, and they deserve the best chances in life. Before relocating to Manchester, I spent the previous two and a half years as a National Leader of Education. I am Sally Lowe, Headteacher. I've previously worked in several schools in Manchester, Haringey, and Wakefield. I have been the headteacher of Girnhill Infant School, a renowned institution since 2013, for the previous fourteen years. Chapel Street is a warm, compassionate school, and I am dedicated about giving our kids the greatest possible education鈥攁cademically, socially, and emotionally. Through a variety of engaging learning activities, both inside and outside the classroom, our kids are encouraged to explore, learn, and ask questions. The team works hard to create a serene and energising atmosphere where everyone models good behaviour and mutual respect and where everyone is respected. I hope you enjoy exploring our website to learn more about our school. Visits are welcomed and encouraged, and we would love to show you around our fantastic school.
