Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School I am very proud to be the Headteacher of St. Francis of Assisi Primary School. Our school is a happy, welcoming and vibrant Catholic school. We pride ourselves on having a real family feel, where the children are known and supported by our dedicated and experienced staff.
The children enjoy coming to school and value that sense of belonging, which binds a strong, caring, Christian community. The pages of this website offer you just a flavour of what we have to offer. We are extremely proud of our school and would be delighted to share our enthusiasm with you. I very much hope I will have the opportunity of welcoming you personally.
For more information, or to arrange a visit, please contact the school office. New Parking Reminder Signs! Our new signs have arrived to help remind everyone to park safely. This includes not parking or turning on pavements, driveways, or in areas marked with yellow lines/ zigzags. By following these simple rules, we can keep our children, families, and community safe.
