Menu Term Dates Policies Curriculum Newsletters Following Jesus, we love, learn and serve on behalf of all of our school community, I would like to welcome you to the St Anthony of Padua Catholic Primary School website.
St Anthony of Padua is a special place where children feel safe and work towards achieving their dreams each day, with the support of a highly skilled and dedicated team of staff. I am proud to be the Headteacher of a school with a rich and varied curriculum, where each child is encouraged to set themselves goals and work towards achieving these each day.
I believe that all children can achieve and experience success and it is our job in school to nurture and develop this, so that each child continues to grow and develop as they make their journey through our school. As a Catholic school, the teachings of Jesus are at the heart of all that we do in school.
We encourage our children to love and support one another as we make our daily journey through life Following Jesus, we love, learn and serve.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
