From the St Paul's Catholic Junior School
I'd like to extend a happy welcome to the parents and students of our school on behalf of the entire staff at St. Paul's Juniors. As Headteacher, it is my goal to ensure that St. Paul's strong reputation and traditions are upheld in the years to come. The children at St. Paul's are kind, happy, and well-behaved; they are full of life and character; in fact, they are a credit to their families and to themselves. As their teachers, it is our responsibility to see that their aspirations are met since they are motivated and eager to learn. We'll work to give your kids the finest possible starting point for their future growth and development. We all place a great deal of value on each child's development, and we all hope that our work as teachers will help them reach their full potential. At St. Paul's, we strive to develop the kind of setting where students of all ages can feel happy and at ease. In a similar vein, we work to develop strong bonds with parents so that the idea of partnership is always viewed as the best course of action. If there are any questions or issues, parents should always feel free to contact the school, whether it be the class teacher or myself. Any questions you may have can be directed to the school directly.
