A very warm welcome to St. Thérèse of Lisieux Catholic Primary School. Our school mission 'To Live in Love' is at the heart of everything we do and our relationships, expectations, standards, and practices are based on these words from our special saint – St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
As a Catholic school, our aim is to provide a context of Catholic education in which children develop a personal relationship with Jesus and their lives are enriched with Gospel Values. Our school mission states that in order to 'Live in Love' we are called to Love God, To Love Each Other, and to Love Ourselves.
We are very proud of our school and our children are an absolute joy. As our mission states we enjoy relationships that are rooted in love, trust, and mutual respect as a foundation for successful learning.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux is a happy, welcoming place to be: all members of the school community work closely together; the positive support of our parents and the wider community is extremely important and we are very grateful for their contribution. We seek to work in partnership at every opportunity as we all want the very best for our children.
