Welcome to St Patrick’s RC High School. I am proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of such a dynamic, high-achieving and forward-thinking school that puts Jesus Christ at the heart of everything we do.
We are guided in our work by our strong Catholic ethos, based on the Gospel Values, which drives us to be the very best we can be, using our God-given talents and gifts.
It is our mission to ensure that children experience a truly great Catholic education that enables them to flourish academically and shine personally, preparing them for a happy and successful adult life.
After a busy and productive first week back, pupils came together yesterday lunchtime to enjoy a quiet moment of reflection and celebration for Diwali – the Festival of Light.
They marked the occasion by lighting candles and creating beautiful decorative lanterns, symbolising light, hope and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.
A lovely opportunity for everyone to pause, reflect and celebrate the positive messages of Diwali, spreading hope, kindness and light throughout the world.
A big thank you to all the pupils and staff who took part and helped make the celebration so special. Wishing everyone celebrating a very happy and peaceful Diwali! ...

We are so sad to hear of the passing of one of our St Patrick’s former staff, Mr Magee. He was a lovely, gentle teacher whose assemblies go down in St Patrick’s history! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Magee family. RIP Mr Magee ...
We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our former pupil, Ianthe Williams, Class of 2022. She was a lovely girl with a beautiful smile, always on the verge of giggling. We keep Ianthe’s family in our prayers, especially brother Arley, also one of our St Patrick’s family. Rest in peace and rise in glory, Ianthe 💚 ...
A fantastic Year 9 assembly today, where pupils were encouraged to reflect on how our school mission can be lived out through their own personal endeavours and aspirations.
It was wonderful to see such thoughtful reflection and engagement from our Year 9 pupils as they considered what living our mission means in their own lives.
"Spiritual life in school helps me a lot. I like the time to reflect in our chapel on Wednesday
lunchtimes- it is a quiet place that helps me to think about my actions and my faith. You can help the school in so many ways from helping in clubs like Faith in Action to just doing little things to help people and show love. It just makes me feel happy to do the best I can for everyone and the school."
Sochima - Year 7
"Teachers are always supportive in lessons and make sure that they do what they can to help you with any problems or difficulties you have to make sure you can complete the work to the best of our ability."

“I have really enjoyed representing the School as part of the football team. I’ve made new friends that go beyond the football pitch. Every match brings new challenges, but it is all worth it when we work together and improve.”
Vincenzo - Year 9
"St Patrick's is a faithful school that consistently offers assistance when required. I think it is fantastic that this school hosts prayers every Wednesday that anyone is welcome to attend. Additionally, the school has a group called Faith in Action which is a community of kind hearted people who are willing to donate their time to help the school's faith grow."
Carina - Year 10
"Being a part of the school’s Faith In Action group, I have been able to strengthen my faith and support the faith of my peers; I have become more resilient in my own life and in my learning and I have been able to serve my school and local community with pride. I have truly become the best version of myself"
Betws - Year 11
"The staff are amazing, not only achieving the St. Patrick's standards, but going beyond the everyday to make our full potential possible and our lives happier.
There are many co-curricular activities to delve into in our vast catalogue here at St. Pats, and the pupils can venture into new interests, shaping their character."
