What the school offers its staff
Due to continued growth and success the Laurus Trust is delighted to announce the opening of Crown Street Primary School in September 2024. Crown Street Primary School will provide 30 Reception places initially and up to 24 Pre-School places. We will add a further Pre-School and Reception class each academic year, until we have pupils in every year from Pre-School to Year Six in September 2030.
Located in the Deansgate-Castlefield area, Crown Street Primary is part of The New Jackson Street development. Nestled between Elizabeth Tower and The Blade, Crown Street will be an inclusive, non-selective, non-denominational one-form entry school where all pupils can thrive regardless of background or circumstance. Being the first primary school to be built in the city centre for 20 years, this is a unique opportunity to help shape the school from the very beginning.
Due to the city centre location of Crown Street Primary, there is no dedicated staff parking available. The site is however accessible via great public transport links, tram and train stations are located within a 6 minute commute (0.6miles) of the school. In addition we have a wide range of employee benefits available to support public transportation, including an interest free loan for the purchase of annual travel tickets and a Cycle to Work Scheme. Furthermore we provide onsite secure cycle parking for staff.
