WELCOME
A very warm welcome from everyone at St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy.
I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of St Patrick’s in Elland. We are blessed with a wonderful team of children and staff and are part of a vibrant community alongside our parents, the parish and wider community. Our school mission statement states that we are ‘Journeying with Jesus’ in our school. We are committed to building a strong community, respecting each other and being the very best that we can be. We are very proud of our caring and inclusive nature and place a strong emphasis on nurturing the whole child.
At St Patrick’s, we always put our children first. We have high expectations and believe that through instilling good Christian values, we can help children to respect others and themselves. Through education, we hope to help our children become confident and independent learners, so that they themselves can be interested in and take responsibility for their own learning and education. We are committed to providing an engaging, broad and balanced curriculum. It is a privilege to work alongside exceptionally talented staff who develop and deliver wonderful learning opportunities for our children. In June 2024, we were thrilled to be graded as GOOD in ALL areas by Ofsted! You can read our latest report here.
Whilst our website is a good introduction, please don’t hesitate to visit our school. I would love the opportunity to meet prospective parents and show the true flavour of what makes us so special.
God bless,
Mrs Catie Boyes
Headteacher
