Crown Street Primary School is pleased to announce that Mrs Heleyna Thompson has been appointed as Head of School.

Mrs Thompson is currently Assistant Head at Gorsey Bank Primary School (part of the Laurus Trust) where she trained as a Newly Qualified Teacher ten years ago, before securing a role as a Class Teacher in 2014. During her time at Gorsey Bank Mrs Thompson has taken lead responsibilities as the English Lead and Standards Lead, before becoming Assistant Head for Pupil Outcomes in 2021. Throughout her time at Gorsey Bank Mrs Thompson has taught across the primary phase and has a proven track record of excellent pupil outcomes at End of Key Stage 1 and End of Key Stage 2.

On being appointed as Head of School, Mrs Thompson said:

 “I am thrilled to be appointed as Head of School of Crown Street Primary School and looking forward to meeting families of prospective pupils, as we near the opening of the school in September 2024. This is a fantastic opportunity for the Laurus Trust to bring our ethos into the heart of Manchester. As a multi-academy trust we are unashamedly academic, unapologetically aspirational and we want to provide children with an education on another level, so that every door will be open to them in the future.”

Information Event

Prospective parents and carers have an opportunity to meet Mrs Thompson and other Senior Leaders from the Laurus Trust Primary Schools, as the Trust will be hosting the second of two public consultations on Wednesday 28th June between 4-7pm at Manchester Central Library.
