Headteacher

St Francis Catholic Primary School, a highly regarded 2FE VA (Group 3) Catholic primary, rated Good (Ofsted 2018) and Outstanding (S48 2016), is a truly remarkable school with extraordinary potential to build upon and further advance its well-earned reputation as a child-centred catholic school community where all are welcomed, loved and nurtured irrespective of background and faith (55% of our children are baptised Catholics with 50% on our role speaking English as an additional language).

The school is well known for its strong links with the parish of St Francis and the catholic community it serves, and as a result is oversubscribed across many year groups. The school is a truly authentic and vibrant community - with happy, well cared for children enjoying the support of committed staff, knowledgeable and supportive Governors and a dynamic School Association. 

Pupils exceed national averages for attainment and progress. The school also has an excellent provision for sports, music and arts therapy, offering more than 12 different extra-curricular activities each week; all located within a spacious site with excellent facilities.

The school looks with confidence to another successful chapter in its story, including charting a course for a future in which academisation plays its part.
