On behalf of our pupils, staff and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to our website. We are a happy school who are proud of our strong Catholic ethos, keeping Christ at the centre of all that we do. At St Patrick s, our Mission Statement (see below) underpins all aspects of school life and ensures that our school is a very special place.
Faithfully following in the footsteps of Jesus, we serve, love and learn together, inspiring each other to excellence. As we strive to follow our mission, we believe that every child is unique and has been created in the image and likeness of God.
We seek to celebrate the ambitions and talents of all and are committed to supporting our children to have high expectations for themselves and others around them. We pride ourselves in offering a curriculum that is creative, challenging and engaging, designed to develop a love of learning and support all children in fulfilling their potential.
This is complemented by a wide range of enrichment opportunities to support children's personal development as they prepare for life in modern Britain.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
