iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to our school We would like to extend a very warm and sincere welcome to our school, where our greatest asset is the wonderful children who make our learning community such a special place to be. As a Catholic school we place our faith at the centre of all that we do and with this in mind we aspire to provide the very best education that we can for the children.
We believe that by working together in a genuine partnership of school, family and parish that we can help our children reach their full potential. Be assured, we encourage applications from families of other Christian denominations, non-Christian faith and families with no faith tradition. Thank you for considering our school for your child.
