From the Saint Patrick's Catholic Voluntary Academy
The age range for students at St. Patricks Catholic Primary School is three to eleven. They will acquire the knowledge and values that will shape their future during their stay here. The staff will work to fully identify and advance them. We firmly believe that children learn best in an environment that values order and organisation, and we lay a strong emphasis on boosting each child's self-esteem and fostering a sense of civic responsibility. It is a Catholic school, St. Patricks. By utilising the Catholic Church's sacramental tradition, we want to establish a community that is centred on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Catholic schools provide an alternative to the increasingly egocentric and materialistic manner that people are viewing the world in which we live. Not just the liturgies and prayers, but every aspect of school life is infused with this spirit. You must carefully analyse the religious component of the school and how it relates to your family's own faith tradition if you are looking at this website with the intention of sending your children to this particular school.
