St Patrick's Catholic Primary, Hullen Edge Road, Elland, Halifax, HX5 0QY We are proud to work with all the Catholic schools across our two local authority areas, particularly as the Trust grows and benefits from the expertise and knowledge that other schools joining in the future will bring. A very warm welcome from everyone at St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy.
I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of St Patrick's in Elland. We are blessed with a wonderful team of children and staff and are part of a vibrant community alongside our parents, the parish and wider community. Our school mission statement states that we are Journeying with Jesus in our school.
We are committed to building a strong community, respecting each other and being the very best that we can be. We are very proud of our caring and inclusive nature and place a strong emphasis on nurturing the whole child.
