About

Winner of the Health and Wellbeing Award & Highly Commended School of the Year You will not find a happier and more inspiring school than St Pius X Catholic Preparatory School in Preston, Lancashire. Choosing the right school in Preston for your child is such a significant aspect of parenting and our exceptional Early Years provides the perfect start.

Learning habits are enhanced, resilience and confidence flourish and these qualities grow with them, as they move through the school. From Year 1 to Year 6, we ensure academic rigour co-exists in a pastoral environment and we achieve excellent progress and results through nurture rather than coercion.

At St Pius X Catholic Preparatory School, children thrive because they embrace challenge; they feel safe and confident in school and they make the most of the opportunities presented to them.
