Welcome Text

Welcome to St Richard’s Catholic Primary School. On behalf of our pupils and staff, I am delighted to welcome you to our school community.

At St Richard’s, we provide a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually. We hold high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring they achieve well, develop confidence, and grow into thoughtful, compassionate individuals.

As a Catholic school and proud member of the Bosco Catholic Education Trust, Christ is at the centre of all we do. Guided by our mission, To Know, To Love, To Serve, we place great importance on personal development, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging, recognising that these are essential to children’s wellbeing and success. We work in close partnership with families, our parish, and the wider community to provide a high-quality education rooted in faith, respect, and service.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our curriculum, Catholic life, and inclusive community. If you would like to visit St Richard’s, our pupils would be delighted to show you their school. Please contact the school office on 01243 784549 to arrange a visit.

Mrs Sydney Bridges - Head of School
