Growing and learning together, as part of God's family, to be the best we can be. St Teresa's Catholic Primary School is located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. St. Teresa's is a Catholic Voluntary Aided School providing education for children aged 4 - 11 years. We currently have 210 pupils on roll in single form classes.
In the context of a caring Christian atmosphere our highly skilled and dedicated staff strive to deliver a curriculum, which not only meets the requirements of the National Curriculum but enhances it by presenting it from a Christian prospective.
In addition to helping children attain high academic standards, we strive to build self-confidence and develop the ability to articulate feelings and ideas. We attach great importance to the development of children's social skills and seek to enable them to build good relationships based on mutual respect and appreciation.
Children are encouraged to work in co-operation and to be supportive of one another.
