A very warm welcome to Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School . We are immensely proud of our Christ-centred learning community, which is guided and inspired by our Mission Statement. This statement is not just words it is lived out each day by all members of our school family.
It calls each of us to action and reflection, reminding us that every person is created in the image and likeness of God, and is therefore deserving of dignity, respect, and love. At Corpus Christi, we are committed to providing the highest quality care and education, recognising and celebrating the unique gifts and talents of every child.
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 Our pupils achieve excellent progress in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics consistently performing well above local and national averages. However, we believe that education is about more than just academic success.
Our broad and balanced curriculum supports the development of the whole child through enriching and engaging learning experiences. We proudly offer weekly specialist-led lessons in Art, Music, Spanish , and PE , ensuring that each child benefits from high-quality cultural education.
