The school opened in 1966 and has been extended several times since then, the latest addition being the Resource Base unit for children with learning difficulties.
Currently (as at 2010), the school has approximately 330 pupils on roll; the figure given in the 2009 Ofsted Report is 299. The pupils are aged 4 – 11. There are, as at 2010, 12 classrooms within the main school building and 3 available in mobile classrooms. There is a Special Education Needs department which caters for children with moderate to complex learning difficulties.
Within the original school grounds there is a separate Pre-School, and a privately run pre and post school club operates from the school.
Mr Quentin Thompson is the school's current headteacher. The school has close ties to The Macclesfield Academy, though many pupils also move on to Fallibroome and All Hallows RC High School.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or development:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
