A message from the Executive Headteacher Head of School Pupils let their light shine at St Pius X Our dynamic, inclusive and nurturing learning environment offers an education which inspires academic excellence for all. Our children know that they are made in the image and likeness of Christ: His light shines through them.
They try to be like Jesus in all that they say and do and to see Jesus in those around them. They too are special; they are chosen; they are loved and they let their lights shine brightly for all to see with the hope of creating a better society.
Our Curriculum St Pius X is a forward thinking, innovative school which draws on the latest research developments in educational theory. St Pius X curriculum is coherent, connected and cumulative. It sets out the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils need to learn to achieve ambitious end points.
