I am delighted to welcome you to St Simon's Catholic Primary School. We are proud to be an inclusive school with a determination to provide excellent education for all the children in our care.
As a Catholic School, we place Christ at the very centre of our learning and we encourage children to STRIVE to be the very best that they can be; growing, learning and loving in a safe and secure way.
In partnership between home, school, parish and community, we are dedicated to working together to develop children who achieve spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally.
We encourage our pupils to try new things, to be creative, to be resilient and to constantly strive to improve, as whatever we do, we do for the glory of God. Our hard working staff are devoted to the families of St Simon's and relationships with our parents are positive and supportive.
