It is with great pleasure that we extend a very warm welcome to St Teresa's. I am very proud to be Headteacher of St. Teresa's and firmly believe that it is everything a primary school should be; inclusive, fun, exciting, compassionate and forward thinking! At St Teresa's, Jesus is at the heart of all we do.
We encourage our children to follow Jesus as our guide as we pray, work and play together. Our school mission is embedded in the Gospel Values as we model, encourage and nurture love, respect, forgiveness, service, resilience and joy for each other and the world that we live in.
