St Winifred's School Choir was a children's vocal ensemble from St Winifred's Roman Catholic Primary School in Stockport, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1968, the choir achieved significant commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, most notably for their 1980 single "There's No One Quite Like Grandma". This track, written for the 80th birthday of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and sold over one million copies.

Under the direction of conductor Terri Foley, the choir previously appeared as uncredited backing vocalists for Brian and Michael's 1978 hit "Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs". Over the decades, the ensemble released multiple albums and participated in various charitable recordings, including a 2009 reunion to support Age Concern. Notable former members include actresses Sally Lindsay and Jennifer Hennessy.
