Headteacher Welcome

Welcome to St Laurence’s Catholic Primary School

A very warm welcome to St Laurence’s Catholic Primary School, Kirkby. It is a privilege and a joy to introduce you to our wonderful school community. At St Laurence’s, we are guided by our Catholic faith, and with our Mission Statement at the centre of school life, we are committed to developing our gifts and talents for the good of all.

St Laurence’s is a caring, inclusive and vibrant school where every child is valued, celebrated and encouraged to flourish. We believe that each child is unique, and we work tirelessly to nurture them academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally - creating an environment where all children can shine.

We are blessed with an exceptional team of dedicated staff who go above and beyond every day. Their commitment, expertise and genuine love of teaching ensure that our children receive the very best education in a safe and inspiring environment. High-quality teaching and learning sit at the heart of each and every day.

Our curriculum is exciting, ambitious and enriched with memorable experiences that help children develop curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud of our strong academic achievements and the high aspirations we hold for every child. Alongside this, we enjoy a long tradition of sporting excellence, with children regularly taking part in competitive sport and celebrating great success.

At St Laurence’s, we value relationships highly. We work closely with parents, carers, our parish and the wider community, recognising that true success comes from teamwork and shared goals. Together, we nurture a school culture rooted in the Gospel value such as love, compassion and service to others.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school. I hope you find all the information you need here, but nothing compares to seeing our happy, welcoming school in action. I would be delighted to show you around so you can experience first-hand the warmth, enthusiasm and sense of community that make St Laurence’s such a special place.

I look forward to working with you and your family as we support your child on their exciting educational and spiritual journey.
