St Chads is a happy, caring and successful Catholic school, rooted in Gospel values, where children enjoy the many opportunities offered to them. We know this because the children and parents tell us. We are an inclusive and welcoming school, fostering a sense of belonging and respect for every childs uniqueness.
I have the privilege of serving our community alongside a dedicated and hard-working team of teachers, teaching assistants, office staff and welfare assistants, as well as a catering manager and site supervisor. Close bonds with our parish supports the spiritual life of the school and creates a loving community with a common purpose.
