In Trafford there are 69 Primary schools, 18 Secondary schools and 6 Special schools.

Trafford Stopgap is the LA led agency which supplies the majority of supply teachers to primary schools in Trafford. The NUT is strongly represented on the Scrutiny group of this agency.

Trafford lies in the south-west of the Manchester conurbation. All parts of Trafford are situated close to major road and rail networks and Manchester International Airport is on the doorstep.  Reaching Manchester City Centre is relatively easy because the Metro rail link serves many parts of Trafford.

Trafford is a good base from which to see the North West—the Vale of Cheshire, Chester, the Peak District, the Lake District an the Yorkshire Dales. Travel a little further and visit North Wales.
