Welcome to St Teresa's RC Primary School. We are a Voluntary Aided Primary school for 3-11 year olds based in Stretford, Manchester. 

Our school mission statement is

'Loving To Learn, Learning To Love'
 

We think this encapsulates the education the children receive at our school.  We hope your child will become an enthusiastic and lifelong learner.  Our four core values underpin everything that goes on in our school and we hope they help our children become happy, confident learners.

Our school prayer is said everyday by all members of our school community.  We hope it gives an understanding of what life is like at St. Teresa's.

This is our school,

​Let peace dwell here.

Let the rooms be full of contentment.

Let love abide here.

Love of one another,

love of learning,

love of life itself,

and love of God.

Let us remember that as many hands build a house,

so many hearts make our school.
