From the St Gregory's Catholic School
We are a school that fosters the development of both boys and girls in a setting with a strong family atmosphere founded on Christian values and open to people of all faiths and none. We take great satisfaction in our committed, highly qualified faculty, excellent pastoral care, and our varied, welcoming community. We are among the best schools in the country for advancing pupils beyond the standards set for academic performance at the conclusion of elementary school. Every kid, regardless of skill level, receives the finest care and challenges possible, with many of them outperforming their grammar school counterparts. Most students move on to our vibrant Sixth Form which offers a broad range of subjects and all the support needed to springboard into higher education and employment. We offer a wide range of subjects with great opportunities for personal development with sports, the arts and trips abroad, enabling students to become confident, engaging and articulate young people who will thrive in a rapidly changing world. As an Ofsted Outstanding school, we will not be complacent and seek to improve every aspect of our work for the benefit of our students and the world in which they will work when they leave us. Visit St. Gregory's to see the variety of opportunities we have to offer your child. We warmly invite you to do so. Join us at one of our public events. "We value the fact that we can send both of our children, a boy and a girl, with varied and individual gifts, to one school where they will be stretched academically whilst given the opportunity to grow morally, socially and spiritually with fellow students from a rich variety of backgrounds and cultures." Parent.
