How would you sum your school up? We are a small Catholic primary school set right on the outskirts of Redcar and Cleveland. Our governors, staff, parents and children work together to achieve the best they can. We believe that Jesus is the heart of everything we do and promote the Gospel values in all aspects of school life. We achieve high standards and expect highly of all of our children.


Tell us something we didn’t know about your school: We serve the Parishes of Loftus, Brotton and Staithes so have children from a wide area. We have strong links with other Catholic schools and hope to form a Catholic academy, the Nicholas Postgate Academy Trust with St Bede's, St Benedict’s, St Paulinus and Sacred Heart this year. We are really looking forward to working with these schools to promote Catholic education and improve teaching and learning further.


What is your school motto/ethos? Christ be our Light in Life, Love and Learning.


What has been your pupils biggest achievement in the past year? Our anti-bullying ambassadors have achieved a Princess Diana award in recognition of the efforts they have made towards teaching their peers about bullying and being good friends. Several of the children travelled to London to take part in an anti bullying conference at the House of Lords. We also gained our level 1 Rights Respecting School award which we are really proud of.


What after schools clubs do you run? We run lots of after school clubs that change each half term. This half term we have art, football, cricket, gardening, girl’s football, Lego, cross country and film club. For the first time we are also running a ukulele club.
