St Gabriel's Church of England Primary school is a one form entry primary school based in Huyton. We have a full time school nursery. We joined the Rainbow Education MAT 1st September 2019.

At St Gabriel’s Church of England Primary school, teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do to ensure that our children leave us knowing more and are able to do more as a result of the highest quality of education which we provide for all of our pupils.

As a church school, we believe that our school Christian values allow us to ‘achieve together through faith‘. We aim to enable children to grow in their faith and work hard to make strong links between our school, our homes, our church and our community.
