Welcome to St Catherine Catholic Primary School website. We are a warm, diverse and small school, and I am immensely proud, alongside all of our dedicated staff, to be able to serve each family that entrust the education of their children to us.
As a Catholic community rooted in the teaching and example of Christ, our Mission Statement, Living life to the full, guides how we teach, how we care for one another and how we help every child grow into the person God created them to be through complete unity with Him. Our school has been part of the community for over 150 years, and that history means a great deal to us.
Generations of families have passed through our doors, and their stories have helped shape the school we are today: living life to the full through the example of Christ. We have high expectations of all of our students and feel privileged to be able to support children in achieving these ambitious targets.
