It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the website of St. Patrick’s Catholic Primary School. Our fundamental aim is to be a high achieving school at the heart of our Catholic community which we serve, living out the gospel virtues in all that we do. Our mission statement ‘Christ be within me’ underpins every aspect of school life and permeates through everything that we do here at St. Patrick’s.

 St. Patrick’s is a very happy, vibrant and supportive school where children and staff are encouraged to give their best at all times and in all they do. We recognise that every child is unique and has gifts, talents and experiences that need to be nurtured and fostered in order that they develop holistically within our care. To this end, our curriculum continues to develop and evolve as we work together to ensure that all our children reach their true potential.

 We are immensely proud to serve a culturally diverse community and we place acceptance and respect of each member at the heart of everything we do, trusting that this is a cornerstone to school life where all are warmly welcomed and embraced. We know that partnerships with parents are key to a child’s success at school, thus we seek to provide opportunities where parents engage, learn and develop alongside their child in school.

 It is our aim that every child’s primary school years here at St. Patrick’s are truly memorable and that we lay the firm foundations upon which every child can build, grow and flourish. We have high aspirations that they will leave our community high-school-ready, equipped with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need for the next stage of their learning journey as well as the desire, self-confidence and belief in their ability to be lifelong learners, knowing that they will always have a place at St. Patrick’s, where their dreams, ambitions and future began.

 Thank you for showing an interest in our wonderful school.

 With warmest wishes

Mrs Claire Grady

Headteacher
