CSI Inspection 2026:

A warm, vibrant culture of welcome, rooted in the joy of the Gospel, permeates all aspects of life at St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School. Christ is firmly at the centre of the community, and pupils live the mission ‘Love, Learn and Respect’ with joy and conviction. Pupils speak confidently about following in the footsteps of St Patrick and serving Christ. Pupils are happy, confident, and feel safe and express a strong sense of worth and security in their God-given identity. Their deep sense of belonging enriches the school’s faith-filled ethos. Relationships across the community are characterised by authentic care and pastoral support ensures all pupils, especially the most vulnerable, feel included.

The provision for Catholic life and mission at St Patrick’s is exceptional, with the mission statement lived, owned, and witnessed by the entire community. It runs ‘like a stick of rock’ through every aspect of school life, shaping decisions, relationships and the daily experience of pupils and families. Staff are deeply committed to the mission and serve the community with generosity, compassion, and humility. They consistently go above and beyond to support families. This care is offered sensitively and respectfully, rooted in a profound understanding of  the dignity of every person. All who encounter the school immediately experience a warm, authentic sense of welcome that flows from the strength of relationships across the school.
