Holy Cross Primary School

Throughout the session various activities, events and meeting will be arranged in order to involve parents and the community in the life of the school. The process of education starts long before children come to school. It is continuous and parental involvement in education is crucial. Should you wish to discuss your child’s progress or have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school immediately. A member of the management team will attend to your query/concern as soon as possible, certainly within the day and if necessary a follow up appointment will be made.

We must work together for the good of all our children and at Holy Cross partnership between parents and staff is at the centre of all our thinking. All the staff at Holy Cross will work together to give your child the very best possible educational experience. We want them to do well, to be safe and happy.

Our vision

Within the community of Holy Cross Primary we are engaged in the pursuit of excellent attainment and achievement for all our pupils. At the heart of our shared vision will be the provision of the highest quality of teaching and learning, the promotion of health and wellbeing and the care and welfare of all learners. The four capacities from Curriculum for Excellence underpin this vision.
