Live, Love, Learn. Together we will soar to new heights. A very warm Welcome to Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School designed to give you a taste of our school and amazing our Holy Spirit community. I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of such an exciting, caring and innovative school situated in the heart of Parr, St. Helens.
In Holy Spirit there is a warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and it is this distinctive ethos, which enables our children to flourish and succeed giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to achieve their full potential. As a school we aim to prepare children not just for tomorrow but for every tomorrow throughout their life.
We work to instill life skills that will set them up for secondary school and beyond. The children's first day at school is as important as their last day and we ensure that the foundation to their learning is set from the minute they walk through the school gates.
