From the School
I consider myself really fortunate to have been chosen as the headteacher of this amazing, lively school. Children at Holy Cross Primary are appreciated for their academic and social worth, and the staff and governors try to create a pleasant and joyful work environment. We want to make sure that every kid grows up with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime in a joyful, nurturing atmosphere that exemplifies our Christian principles. Recognizing that everyone has their own special abilities that we work with you to develop, we seek to create opportunities for you to build independence, confidence, and teamwork. We value the contribution that parents make to their children's education and invite you to visit us at any time that is convenient for both parties to observe the school in action. We think that a strong collaboration between parents, the school, and our parish church is essential for success, and we are here to work with you to give your kid the best education possible.
