St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy, George Ave, Birkby, Huddersfield, HD2 2BJ 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.
We are so pleased you have chosen St Patrick's school for your child and welcome you to our school family. At the heart of everything we do, is providing the best opportunities for each and every one of the children entrusted into our care.
We aim to do this by building strong relationships with parents and by using the resources we have within our local Parish and wider community, and now also as part of the Blessed Peter Snow Academy Trust, a family of 15 Catholic schools within the Leeds Diocese.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
