About our school

Welcome to St Catherine’s C of E School

At St Catherine’s Church of England School, we strive to educate our children to realise their aspirations and to contribute positively to society guided by our Christian principles.

 

Our aims for teaching and learning are that all the children will:

  • be tolerant and understanding with respect for the rights, views and property of others;
  • develop a responsible and independent attitude towards work and towards their roles in society
  • not be limited in terms of their academic achievement, aesthetic appreciation and spiritual awareness.

Our school believes that:

  • Children are the only reason why this school is here. Each child comes with amazing gifts, remarkable talents and immeasurable potential. We have a moral duty to ensure that each child is able to discover and develop these.
  • Pupils will be happy and will flourish when working with adults who inspire them to learn. Relationships, based on mutual respect, trust, fun and high expectations are the key to excellent learning.
  • Pupils will be happiest and achieve best when their families, in whatever form they happen to be, are involved and working closely with us. We will strive to develop strong partnerships with families.
  • A broad and balanced creative curriculum inspires and motivates every child.
Welcome to St Catherine’s School!

We thank you for your interest in our school and extend a warm welcome to children, parents and carers who come to our school.

We feel that we can achieve the best for the children in our care through close co-operation between home and school. We welcome your involvement and support in any aspect of school life and will always make ourselves available to you to discuss any aspect of your child’s development. Together we shall endeavour to make school life an enjoyable, productive, successful and worthwhile experience for the children.

The handbook below is designed to give you information about the life and organisation of our school and hopefully give you an insight into what we are about. Please contact us if you require any extra information at any time. Visits to school by new pupils and their parents are encouraged. We look forward to a positive partnership with you.
