On behalf of the pupils, staff and governors I would like to warmly welcome you to St Margaret Clitherow's Catholic Primary School. Saint Margaret Clitherow's School is a family. We are a very large, happy, diverse and united family we are strong because of our differences and because of the way that we successfully work together.
We believe that the 'special feel' at St Margaret Clitherow's School comes from our caring, supportive and friendly environment. We love the children entrusted to us and take great pride in nurturing their academic, social and personal skills.
We want our children to feel valued and an important member of our school family and wider community or as one ex-pupil perfectly articulated it, 'Everyone is somebody at St Margaret Clitherow's School'. We are very proud of our strong Catholic ethos, standards and pastoral care, nurturing our young people as they continue on their faith journeys.
At the heart of St Margaret Clitherow's is a clear commitment to Catholic values: the education that the pupils receive has the Gospel values at its core and we wholly embrace our school motto of 'Jesus is at the heart of everything we do'.
