We have a diverse school population, serving children from a broad catchment area. In line with our values of Love, Forgiveness, Respect, Hope, Trust and Courage, we strive to provide a truly inclusive environment for all. This is embodied within our school motto ‘Let your light shine’. Children’s personal development is central to all we do. Our innovative school structure includes an Inclusion Team, who offer family support, nurture, and targeted support to children. This means that we can provide early intervention quickly and support a positive learning environment. We have a leadership team who prioritise the wellbeing of our team alongside supporting their professional development and have a commitment to minimising unnecessary workload whilst maintaining excellence. At St. Catherine’s, children have fun and value their learning. We would be delighted to show you around our lovely school.
