iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Following in Jesus' footsteps, we learn, love and grow together . Following in Jesus' footsteps, we learn, love and grow together Welcome to St Alban's We aspire to teach the children to have respect for religious and moral values and to have respect for other races, religions and ways of life. We actively encourage the children to celebrate difference.
St Alban's Catholic Primary School aims to provide the highest possible standard of education across the curriculum. We wish to foster our pupils' relationship with God and with others in order to be capable of reaching their full potential as responsible and caring adults.
We believe that children who enjoy their learning remain curious, focused and aspire to achieve their very best. Staff support every child's social and emotional development and have high expectations of behaviour. These expectations encourage thoughtfulness, kindness and appreciation of others. Ours is a happy school.
Children work well together and form good relationships with staff and each other. They feel safe in their learning environment and develop in confidence and become independent. In this way, their own individual talents flourish. Ms G McBride – Head Teacher
