Here you can start to discover what makes Cathcart Street such a special place, why children love it here and why they remember it with such affection after they have left. I am extremely excited and proud to be the new Head teacher of such a wonderful, inclusive school.
Cathcart Street is a happy, nurturing school, very much at the heart of the community and we pride ourselves on our positive and caring ethos. I look forward to continuing the excellent work of our school, keeping the children at the heart of all that we do. Cathcart Street is a special place for all of our children and families and I feel very lucky to be in my new role.
