From the Our Lady and St Kenelm RC School
We are delighted to have you as a part of our school community and look forward to working together successfully at home, school, and parish. In order to give your kid the best education possible, we look forward to working with you throughout the year and strengthening our connections. We take pride in being a small, family-oriented community with a solid Christian foundation. We take great satisfaction in knowing every single one of our students by name and are dedicated to providing them with the best possible start to their education, where they may flourish in a setting of mutual respect and enthusiasm for learning. "Improving everyone's potential for the good of all. We cherish each individual and the contributions they make at our fully inclusive school. We want our kids to know the joy of attaining their own academic goals while also developing a strong moral character and sense of justice based on the teachings of Jesus Christ in the context of our Christian religion. Our connection with parents is extremely essential to us because we are a family school. Our firm belief is that children learn best when their parish, school, and home are all working together for their good. Children arrive at school with a rich tapestry of information and understanding about the world they live in, which they have previously absorbed from you, their parents, who served as their first teachers. Being the headteacher of Our Lady and St. Kenelm Primary School is a great honour for me, and I'm looking forward to working with you as your kid completes his or her primary education. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for all that you do for our school community.
