At St. Patrick’s, Jesus Christ is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our mission statement, “Together through love and service we will come to know God and grow to be the individuals we were created to be,” we strive to enrich our curriculum in alignment with His teachings. Our goal is to deepen our children’s faith, foster a love of learning, and encourage service to others with compassion and kindness.
We aim to nurture both spiritual growth and academic excellence by offering a wide range of enrichment activities. Through engaging programs, we inspire intellectual curiosity and creativity, helping our students face life’s challenges with resilience and grace. In our caring Catholic community, every child is empowered to explore, learn, and thrive.
We pride ourselves on embedding enrichment opportunities across all areas of the curriculum. You can learn more about this here: St Patricks Overview 23 24

This week we had some special visitors to show us how to wash our hands properly. We had a special lotion applied that shows germs under UV light! We were so surprised to see just how many germs are on our hands!💦💦💦 @stpatsrochdale @STOC_CAT
Pentecost 🔥
Today we have been celebrating Pentecost. We have celebrated by reading biblical scripture, creating the fruit of spirit windmills for our prayer table and designed our own pieces of artwork. 🕊️

There is also a padlet for Parent/Carers. The aim of this padlet is to empower parent/carers to support their children's mental health, build resilience and become key decision makers in accessing the support that is right for them.
