It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to St Agnes’ Catholic Primary School. The pupils, staff, and Governors are all very proud of our highly successful and oversubscribed Nursery and two-form entry school, where children flourish spiritually, academically and emotionally. Our close proximity to our Parish Church enables us to have strong links with both the wider parish community and within the Diocese of Westminster.
Our school mission statement pervades every aspect of school life and can be seen as a reality in our interactions with each other ‘The family of St Agnes Loves, learns and grows together as followers of Jesus’. Together, we strive to ensure that everyone in our school community is given the nurture, encouragement, knowledge and skills to enable success whilst at St Agnes’ and equip them for the next stage of their educational career and as responsible citizens of the future. This is achieved through our exciting and ambitious curriculum; providing access to a diverse array of enrichment activities; and by fostering a supportive learning environment through our caring and skilled staff team, inspiring each child along their educational journey.
We are proud of our holistic and inclusive approach to learning, along with our commitment to promoting positive emotional well-being and mental health. We understand that each child is an individual and as such we get to know each member of our school exceptionally well.
