Hello and a huge welcome to you all. I am the very proud Headteacher of St Ignatius Catholic Primary School and I extend a warm welcome to all those who look through our website and come to meet our very special Catholic community. St Ignatius is a thriving, diverse Catholic Primary School in Sunbury-on-Thames.
We are a two-form entry school within the Diocese of Westminster, providing a high-quality education for children from Reception to Year 6. We primarily serve the parishes of St Ignatius, Sunbury and St John Fisher, Shepperton, although we have many children from other local parishes.
We belong to the Ascension Catholic Academy Trust (ACAT), which is made up of five other local Catholic primary and secondary schools. This partnership enables us to further drive for excellence for our children.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
