Together in Gods love we care,'t rust and respect Welcome to St Francis CE Primary School. Our school is a happy, vibrant learning community that puts our pupils and their needs first. We are enormously proud of our school and its place within the local community. Please use our website to find out more about our school.
Parents who are interested in visiting our school are most welcome to do so, please use the contact info below to make an appointment to come and visit. We look forward to meeting you! The first phase of St. Francis CE Aided Primary School was opened by The Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Lt. Col. Sir James Walter Scott, 2nd Baronet, on November 19th 1991.
Demand for places in the school grew with the further development of housing in Valley Park and consequently the second phase of the buildings was opened in 1995. The school benefits from a large and varied site and has always been popular with parents. Presently, we are hard at work developing our school grounds to create more spaces for outdoor learning.
