Crowcroft Park County Primary School is situated about two miles to the south-east of Manchester city centre. The school was built in 1935 and it is located in an area which consists mainly of terraced houses. Although technically in Gorton South ward, a majority of the pupils come from Longsight ward.

There are currently 188 pupils enrolled at the school following the National Curriculum with a further 20 children attending the nursery full-time and 20 attending on a part-time basis. The seven classes are staffed by eight teachers, including the head, plus the nursery with one full-time teacher.

The OFSTED Report on Crowcroft Park Primary School says it "is a good school. It is a calm and orderly community based on mutual respect and shared values. The school fosters good levels of tolerance and harmony. Many children enter the school with levels of academic and social skills development well below the national expectation. Many leave with levels of attainment in line with the national expectations and averages."
