Our Schools
Educating the mind, heart, and spirit in our community.
Welcome to the educational heart of our parish. At St. Ambrose Barlow, our mission of forming disciples of Christ extends far beyond the church walls and deep into the classrooms of our affiliated schools. We are blessed to have a vital, thriving partnership with these four wonderful schools, which are dedicated to providing academic excellence within a community rooted in faith, love, and Gospel values.
St. Mary's RC Primary School, Swinton
St Mary's RC Primary School provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for the youngest members of our community. Guided by their motto, "In the light of Christ, we believe, achieve and care," the school is committed to helping every child grow academically, personally, and spiritually.
St Mark's RC Primary School, Clifton
As a vital part of our parish family, St Mark's RC Primary School encourages pupils to "learn and grow in the footsteps of Jesus." The school fosters a happy and successful learning environment where children are nurtured in their faith from the very beginning of their educational journey.
St Charles' RC Primary School, Swinton
St Charles' RC Primary School is a safe and happy community where children are inspired to "Learn, Love, and Live like Christ." With a focus on both high academic expectations and strong Gospel values, the school is dedicated to forming well-rounded, faith-filled young people.
St. Ambrose Barlow RC High School
Serving as the next step in our community's educational journey, St Ambrose Barlow RC High School is "a place of learning, a community of faith." The school is dedicated to helping every student "let their light shine" by developing their unique, God-given talents in a supportive Catholic environment.
This partnership between our parish and our schools is one of our greatest blessings. It is in these classrooms and on these playgrounds that the next generation of our parish family is formed—not only in mind, but in heart and spirit. We are proud to support their mission of forming young people who are ready to "let their light shine" and carry their faith into the world.
