Welcome
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to welcome you to St. Patrick’s Catholic School as Executive Headteacher
I have always believed that our school days should be among the happiest of our lives. They are the years in which we discover our talents, build lifelong friendships, develop our values, and create memories that stay with us forever. At St. Patrick’s, we are committed to ensuring that every child experiences a school journey filled with joy, belonging, achievement, and opportunity, within a caring and nurturing community where they are known, valued, and loved.

Our Values
Schools, through their curriculum, are legally bound to teach and promote fundamental British values. These are values that have been attributed, by the government, to being British. They fall into the following broad areas. At St. Patrick’s, we reflect British values in all that we do. We actively promote these values in many ways.
Letters
We send out letters and newsletters on a regular basis to keep parents up to date with school decisions and progress.
At St Patrick's, we keep our parents, carers and families informed about upcoming events and celebrations of our children's successes. We regularly publish a newsletter, which is sent out electronically to all of our parents and is made available on this page. We also use Social media to share the very latest events, learning and religious celebrations that take place within our school.
