St Mary’s Catholic College
Our students are the best advertisement for what we achieve at St Mary’s. They will tell you that we are ambitious and we settle for nothing less than the best. This is drawn from our Mission as a Catholic college: “To Love and Serve Christ Within Us All.”
St Bernards RC Primary School
We are very proud of our school and what we offer. St Bernard’s is a place where faith, values, learning & creativity come together as one. We are passionate about new learning and are committed to giving the best experience possible to our children and families. Teachers work hard to create exciting and innovative lessons and you will see more of this on our class blogs.
Our Lady Of Pity Primary School
Welcome to our great school! And a great school it is, not only because of the recognition it receives but because the children at the school achieve great things. I am privileged to be the Principal of a school which has an extraordinary staff team who work seamlessly with massively committed parents. The very high standards we achieve in all areas emerge very naturally from this effective partnership. As with all effective organisations, the school evolves and develops its philosophies and practices over time and continues its never ending quest for child centred education. Please also see the policies that help shape our ideals for more information. Visitors to our school invariably comment on the ethos of the school (“warm and welcoming” and “respectful”) and the manner in which the pupils are engaged in their learning. Our pupils smile a lot even when the very best outcomes are asked of them.
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School
We are an above average sized, two form Primary school with approximately 400 children on roll, plus an additional 26 places in Nursery. We have a very good staff to pupil ratio, employing teachers, teaching assistants, support staff as well as buying in the services of specialists, for example sports coaches. The School accepts pupils from Nursery through to Year Six before they transfer to secondary education. This means that the children can be with us for a total of eight years, during which time we endeavour to bring out the best in each and every child in terms of their social, educational and physical development. As a Catholic School, Christ is at the center of all we do. Our curriculum, Mission Statement, values and beliefs all flow from this center point of God, so that the children grow, learn, achieve and develop spiritually as well as academically.
