At St Patrick’s everything we do is centred on our special Catholic Identity. We focus on the Gospel values and teaching children the importance of loving and respecting everyone as Jesus taught us. We follow the Come and See programme as recommended by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. We want every child to be happy and enthusiastic learners of RE. The beliefs and practices of our faith lay firm foundations to our entire curriculum and permeate the day-to-day life of the school.
Our Faith
Our mission as a Catholic primary school is to provide a Catholic education that puts Christ at the centre of our school. To educate each other, to create community and to witness the Gospel Values:
- faithfulness and integrity;
- dignity and compassion;
- humility and gentleness;
- truth and justice;
- forgiveness and mercy;
- purity and holiness;
- tolerance and peace;
- service and sacrifice.
At St Patrick’s, our mission statement forms the absolute heartbeat of our school.
