Welcome to Live, Love and Learn together, as Witnesses for Christ A very warm welcome to St. Andrews Catholic Primary School. We are very proud of our school. We recognise that every child is unique and special, created by Gods love. Our children live, love and learn together as true witnesses for Christ.
St Andrew's Catholic Primary School is a calm, purposeful place in which pupils are happy, confident and love to learn. Pupils are safe and well cared for, trusting the adults who work with them to help them if they have any worries. There is a real sense of family and belonging at this school.
Pupils thoroughly enjoy welcoming visitors to school and are proud to call it their own. The behaviour of pupils is a strength. Both in class and in the playground, they treat one another courteously. They are polite, considerate and respectful. They enjoy taking on roles to help other such as becoming playleaders, 'Gift Ambassadors' and Year 6 buddies for younger children.
