From the Chapelfield Primary School
Chapelfield is a primary school that serves students from 4 to 11 years old. For kids as young as 3, there is also a nursery class. Children move on to high school at age 11, with Philips High School being the nearest. Some kids attend independent schools in Bolton, Bury, or other cities. Situated at the end of Clough Street, approximately half way along Stand Lane, Chapelfield Primary School was officially opened in June 1981, although the traditions of the school and ethos of high standards were founded long before in the two primary schools which Chapelfield replaced. From its location south of Radcliffe, close to the Whitefield boundary, the school serves a vast area. The accommodation, which is for approximately 300 pupils includes a nursery, hall, eleven classrooms, resource areas, group teaching areas, practical work areas, a Parents Room, a large playground and playing field and a well fitted modern kitchen where school meals are prepared each day.
