[EduCativ]

It is with great delight that we welcome you to St Catherine’s Primary School. A number of you are already familiar with our school, others we welcome for the first time. As parents, you have the right to expect that your child(ren) will be provided with the highest quality of education in a safe and happy climate where everyone is valued and treated with dignity and respect.

In our Catholic School Community, we believe that we have created a caring Christian community where children are nurtured and presented with opportunities to develop their full potential in an inspiring, challenging, and well-ordered environment. We endeavor to ensure that our pupils have opportunities to maximize their achievement and attainment, enabling them to develop into Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens, and Effective Contributors equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills for life.

We place great importance on our Home, School, Church Partnership working together helping pupils to know, to celebrate, to pray, and to live the Catholic faith. Our school is greatly supported by the clergy of St Aloysius', St Catherine Laboure, and All Saints Parishes. We believe that working effectively together with all stakeholders, sharing our vision, values, and aims enable us to communicate clearly and openly ensure the best value for all. In partnership with all parents and the community of St Catherine’s Primary School, we strive towards continuous improvement for the benefit of all our children.

Through the development of the Curriculum for Excellence, St Catherine's Primary School will endeavor to deliver the highest quality of education in an organized and caring community based on Gospel Values. Committed to developing the potential of all pupils in an atmosphere of trust, co-operation, and mutual respect, we will strive to ensure that effective learning and teaching will enable pupils to aspire to realize their full potential - spiritually, academically, socially, and aesthetically. This will be achieved by fostering effective partnerships between home, school, and church.
