Holland Place, Off Reedyford Rd, Nelson, Lancashire, BB9 8HD Thank you for visiting our website which gives a snapshot of Holy Saviour RC Primary School, Nelson. We serve the Catholic community in Nelson and are supported by Father Gerard of Holy Saviour Church. We are in the Diocese of Salford.
Situated off Reedyford Road, Nelson, we are lucky to have extensive grounds featuring a "forest", a garden area with a range of fruit trees, a field with a mile a day track and a wide range of outdoor gym equipment. Every day, we aim to achieve our full potential - all of our school community live the school motto of "Being who Jesus calls us to be."
We have a great team of staff and governors who support the children in their education, health and wellbeing and aim to give them opportunities for "living life to the full." Should you require any more information, please contact the school office where a member of staff will be happy to help you. We are consulting on changing the lunchtimes for EYFS and KS1.
