Schools

St Paul’s Catholic Primary School was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for
children of Catholic families. Whenever there are more applications than places available, priority
will always be given to Catholic children in accordance with the oversubscription criteria listed
below. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church in
accordance with its trust deed and instrument of government, and seeks at all times to be a
witness to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Catholic education for all our pupils. At a Catholic
school, Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every aspect of the school’s activity. It is essential
that the Catholic character of the school’s education be fully supported by all families in the school.
We therefore hope that all parents will give their full, unreserved and positive support for the aims
and ethos of the school. This does not affect the right of an applicant who is not Catholic to apply
for and be admitted to a place at the school in accordance with the admission arrangements.
