St Albans is an Outstanding school; St Alban's is a community built on strong faith where the light of Christ illuminates every aspect of school life , Catholic School Inspection March 2024 St. Alban's Catholic Primary School is part of the Our Lady of Walsingham Multi-academy trust within the centre of the city of Cambridge in the grounds of the Catholic Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs (OLEM).
The school serves the Catholic community south of the river Camb but as a one form entry, places are not available to all the Catholic families. At St Alban's we promote a strong Catholic ethos and provide cohesion amongst families who come from all over the city.
Our mission statement Believe, Achieve and Succeed is alive in our school and we invite all visitors to experience this. St. Alban's is a happy and popular school where children are loved and cared for, where they become very independent, confident and reliable, as they experience the many wonderful opportunities ahead of them.
