Welcome to St Bridgets Catholic Primary School and Nursery Welcome to St Bridget's Catholic Primary and Nursery. We are a warm, welcoming school where every child is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to nurture and nourish all children with the learning and skills they need to develop into kind, caring and compassionate people of the future.
We pride ourselves on our strong ethos and values, such as love, respect and honesty, which underpin everything we do. We teach our children to know and love God and share His love with others. While we are a Catholic school, we also welcome children of all faiths, traditions and cultures, as many of our children are not baptised as Catholic.
We promise to give our children an excellent education. Our educational philosophy is based on the provision of excellent teaching and learning opportunities with a view to developing the whole person so that we prepare our children to be good Christian citizens in the wider community.
