Together in truth and faith we learn and grow as God's family. St Francis Roman Catholic Primary School is a warm, welcoming place where pupils enjoy learning. The care of your pupils is at the heart of the culture you have created.
The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics was above the national average for both key stage 1 and key stage 2. I would like to take the opportunity to warmly welcome you to our school website. The formative years of a child's education prepare them for the challenges of modern life.
As a Christian community in the Catholic tradition, we will nurture your child and care for them in the spirit of Gospel values. As a school we strive for high standards and feel that these are best achieved when the school and parents are working together in partnership with the child.
The journey through the primary years is an exciting and challenging one for your child and at St Francis we will endeavour to make it as successful and fulfilling as possible.
