From the St Austin's Catholic Primary School
In the crypt of St. Austin's church, the first school in St. Austin's Parish was established as early as 1838. There have been many changes in education since then but we remain a Catholic school serving Catholic families mainly, but not exclusively, in the former Canonical Parishes of St Austin's and St. Bernadette, part of the recently formed Canonical parish of St. Wilfrid's. Our Catholic school's mission statement informs every facet of academic life. It is deeply rooted. Our students are really content. We are a good institution (Ofsted May 2018). When your child knows that teachers, parents, and other school personnel are on his or her side and supportive of him or her, that youngster will be content at school. Relations are essential. It is this relationship based on mutual understanding and trust driven by our belief in fulfilling our mission statement that our school is fully inclusive - we are all valued in the eyes of God and each other. In our community, we want every child to grow up admiring themselves. We want them to have the self-assurance to have fun and do their best. We want you, the parent or caretaker, your kid, our staff, our Governors, and the larger community to let us know if this isn't happening at any time. We are really proud of each and every one of our kids, and we appreciate you all putting your faith in us to guide them at St. Austin's on their path to realising their full potential.
