Without the industry revolution and the consequent workers who came to live in Patricoft to be near their work, there would have been no necessity for the Christ Church Schools to be built. According to the Salford Weekly News in an article printed the year before at the laying of the foundation stone by the then Bishop of Manchester...`Patricoft contained a population of some 6,000 souls,... when the new schools were completed they would afford accommodation for 512 children'. The schools are now amalgamated into one and has recently acquired a further building in the form of the previously known Dorning Street Nursery now know as our 3-5 years unit. The schools has a long history of providing education for the children of this area, having been opened in 1972 as a church school. Today`s building has been enlarged and modernised, and control of administration and funding has passed from the Church to the City of Salford Education Department, which gives us our official titles Christ Church (Patricoft) C.E (Controlled) Primary School usually shortened to Christ Church C.E Primary School. The school is a one form entry primary school with eight classes of 28 pupils, 220 in all. The present Head teacher, Mr. Stewart A.L Ballantyne was appointed in September, 1983. |
