St Jude's Catholic Primary School

St Jude's Catholic Primary School, Birmingham sits at cross-roads of Birmingham, Solihull and Bromsgrove, and serves the parish of St Dunstan's and St Jude's. We are a thriving one-form entry Catholic school welcoming over 200 children from Reception to Year 6, from our local communities of Maypole, Druids Heath and beyond.

Our school mission is: we live, love and learn together joyfully, in Jesus' name, and our warm, caring ethos based on our strong Catholic faith is evident as you walk around our school. We are an inclusive Catholic community that celebrates both the uniqueness of the individual and diversity. We work hard to ensure that our entire community is able to grow and learn together.

Our Mission is: We live, love and learn together joyfully, in Jesus' name. At St Jude's Catholic Primary School we recognise the importance of our faith; that Jesus is present in us all and, because we are made in the image of God, we live, love and learn together. We place emphasis on every child developing their gifts and talents to their fullest potential by enabling their learning in every aspect of school life.

Guided by the teachings of the Church and with our families, friends and parish, we pray, learn, celebrate and love each other by using the gifts we have been given by God the Father, Son and Spirit. To develop the children's understanding and living of the Catholic faith so that they can recognise that God is at the centre of everything and experience God's love for them through prayer and in all different situations in their lives.

Provide the highest standards of accommodation possible (stimulating, safe and tidy) in order to create a learning environment that reflects the Church's teaching regarding the dignity of the human person. Ensure that the resources available for use are of good quality and are deployed to support the learning of each child. We are committed to developing a community where pupils, staff, parents, governors and parish work together to live out our Mission and put into practice the aims of our school.

We support our parents with their role as the first educators and carers of their children. To encourage the children's participation in their own development by recognising their views and wishes through consultation. To enable them to become socially confident and independent, developing a feeling of personal self worth, with respect for self and others. Be aware of everybody's efforts on behalf of the school and appreciate them. Share and celebrate individual and group achievements. We help to prepare our pupils for life in the wider community.

Here at St. Jude’s we do our best to challenge and support all our children so that every child has the opportunity to excel and achieve their potential. As a team, we endeavour to provide a rich, exciting and diverse curriculum so that each child can experience a varied yet stimulating education within a small and homely environment.

Our mission indicates our intimate approach of creating a spiritual haven where our children can grow and flourish in a loving and homely way along a path that Jesus wants us to take. We believe that every individual is made in the image of Christ and set out to see each pupil as unique and highly valued in our community.

All our children strive for success and happiness encouraged by a committed staff, who by knowing and loving each child, provide wonderful opportunities to enhance their development. Standards and expectations are high for our pupils so that they can all reach their potential and be the best that they can be. We are proud of the progress our pupils make in their time here and aim to maintain continued academic growth and success.
