Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Primary School

We warmly welcome you and look forward to a successful partnership between Home, School and Parish. To our current parents, we will continue to work with you to build on existing links, by providing the best education possible for your child. We are a small family community with a strong Christian ethos. We take tremendous pride in knowing our children very well and being committed to offering them the finest start to their education, where they can thrive in a safe, caring, welcoming and happy environment of mutual respect.

Our vision remains rooted in our Mission Statement which is the foundation for all learning where: We welcome everyone into our community to live, love and learn together in the light and example of Jesus Christ. Being a fully inclusive school, we value every individual and the contributions they make. We want our children to experience the pleasure of achieving personal academic successes, linked to a strong sense of morality and fairness, based on the teachings of Jesus Christ within our Christian faith.

As a family school, our partnership with parents is of paramount important to us. We believe that children learn best when home, school and parish work together for their benefit. When starting school, children bring a rich tapestry of knowledge and understanding about the world around them, which they have already learnt from you, their parents – their first educators.

Our school, which looks to Christ for the basis of its existence, aims to show concern for all connected with the school. We see ourselves as vital to the life and worship of the parish. Our school will be distinguished by the quality of care, support and respect shown between its members.

Our school aims to make worship in all forms central to the life of the school and aims to promote the spiritual growth of all its members. We aim to ensure that our whole curriculum, including the National Curriculum, is delivered within a Catholic environment in which pupils can grow and acquire concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in preparation for future life.

Our school acknowledges that each person is unique and we should strive for the fullest development of every pupil and all those who work in the school, promoting equal opportunity and respect for all. Our school aims to promote justice and understanding in our world by forging positive links with the community, other schools, other faiths and the world of work.
