I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to St Agnes' Catholic Primary School. At St Agnes' each and every child is valued, nurtured, loved and at the centre of everything we do. We teach through our own actions and words the true values of the Gospel and Christ's teaching to love one another.
In joining our school your child will be encouraged, motivated, inspired and guided to ensure that they develop their natural gifts and talents whilst gaining a well-rounded education in a safe, caring and welcoming environment.
As a school we believe that we are all part of one larger family community with each other; child and family, our parish community, our feeder school St Thomas More Catholic School and the wider community to which we serve.
We believe that in working together as one that we can truly ensure that we can fully support your child academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. In doing so we help your child to meet their full potential. We live our mission statement daily; ' Act justly, love tenderly, walk humbly with your God. '
