Welcome from the Headteacher
A warm welcome to the St Paulinus Catholic Primary School website. Here you can find out about our school, our values, and what matters most to us.
“To love one another, as I have loved you.”
Our mission is at the heart of everything we do. At St Paulinus, we aim to nurture every member of our school community – academically, spiritually, morally and socially. We recognise that each person has their own God-given talents; we are all God’s work of art.
Our Curriculum
St Paulinus provides a dynamic, forward-thinking education that draws on the latest educational research. Our curriculum is coherent, connected and cumulative, setting out the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary pupils need to achieve ambitious goals.
From their first day, pupils are encouraged to go beyond acquiring knowledge to developing deeper understanding and skills. We promote higher-order thinking, encouraging children to apply their learning to new situations. Regular practice and revisiting prior knowledge ensure that pupils build secure understanding and confidence in their abilities.
Forming Lives Ready to Face the Future
We are proud of our high academic standards, but at St Paulinus we also provide opportunities for pupils to experience the world through the faith and traditions of the Catholic Church. This faith drives our inclusive approach and commitment to supporting each child to be the very best they can be.
Our programme is further enriched by a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These experiences, including our unique passport of learning opportunities, help pupils develop teamwork, leadership, cultural understanding and other essential life skills, preparing them to be responsible and confident citizens of the 21st century.
Our Staff
Exceptional education requires passionate, enthusiastic and dedicated staff. At St Paulinus, all staff value each pupil as an individual and are committed to developing the whole child, not just the curriculum.
Teachers inspire pupils to achieve their personal best, nurture creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration, and model lifelong learning and strong Catholic values.
Our Community
St Paulinus is a welcoming, inclusive community where every pupil is valued and supported. We aim to develop outstanding citizens who will make a positive difference in the world, locally, nationally and globally.
We hope this website provides a helpful insight into our school and its ethos. If you would like to visit St Paulinus or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
