**Important Message**

The Archdiocese boundary map on the Archdiocese website is incorrect. The Faber Catholic Primary School is in the parish of "Cotton with Alton" and NOT "Cotton with Cheadle." For exact details of the boundary please refer to the map held in school and NOT the map on the Archdiocese website.
