Principal's Welcome 

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you for looking at our school website. As the Principal of St Patrick’s, my job is to make sure your child is safe, happy and achieving their very best whilst they are at school. This is a vision shared by all members of the St Patrick's school family.  

We want our children to feel welcome, inspired, safe and supported when they are learning so that they can reach their God-given potential and this is true for you as parents. Children will achieve well if expectations are clear, they know what they need to do to succeed and they have the right attitudes towards learning.

Our school family is dedicated to building opportunities for students to achieve their highest academic standards, ensuring that they are known well as individuals and that their unique personality, talents and interests are nurtured and developed to the full. 

A St Patrick’s education is about developing the whole child and providing opportunities for them to flourish within and beyond the classroom. It is the aim of the whole school team to help each child become a successful life-long learner and well-rounded individual who is ready to make the next steps in their learning journey.

A successful and happy school depends on all of us working together in what we can call the home-school parent partnership. Your support with excellent attendance, education, homework, behaviour and uniform are all areas where we need your commitment.  

For any prospective parents who are accessing our school website for the first time, thank you for showing an interest in learning more about our school. We are always happy to welcome prospective parents to our school and please do visit our virtual tour page where you can see more of our school. 

Please telephone the school office on 01785 413275 to make an appointment to visit where we will  look forward to welcoming you and your child to St Patrick’s School.  I hope that you will enjoy exploring our website to find out a little more about us and what your child can expect to experience in the St Patrick's family.

Mr M Brandon

Principal
