Learning and Loving on our Journey with Jesus Welcome to Saint Gabriel's Catholic Primary School; we hope you will find it both useful and informative! We are St Gabriel's, a Catholic Voluntary Academy, part of Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust. We are proud to be an inclusive school with a determination to provide excellent education for all of the children in our care.
As a Catholic School, we place Christ at the very centre of our learning and we encourage children to be the very best that they can be; growing, learning and loving in a safe and secure way. In partnership between home, school, parish and community, we are dedicated to working together to develop children who achieve spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally.
We encourage our pupils to try new things, to be creative, to be resilient and to constantly strive to improve, as whatever we do, we do for the glory of God. Our hard working staff are devoted to the families of St Gabriel's and relationships with our parents are positive and supportive.
We have strong pastoral support, enabling our families to work closely with school, achieving the best outcomes for all.
