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.

“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ...
