Welcome

WELCOME
Welcome to the website of St Patrick’s Primary School. Our school is a happy, family environment, hardworking and successful. The child is at the centre of everything we do.

Our whole school community share a common goal – to do the very best for every child in our care. With our motto being: ‘Progress through Partnership’ and our school being at the heart of the community of Hilltown our vision is to nurture and build the aspirations of all our children so that they reach their full potential. Excellent staff-pupil relationships exist in our school and the highest standards of academic progress and pastoral care are delivered in an atmosphere of a believing community committed to a Catholic way of life.

Our pupils enjoy success in examinations and in a wide range of other areas including sport, music, art and drama.

Our website has been designed to provide you with an insight into the life and work of our school. Please explore and enjoy finding out about some of the worthwhile and enjoyable activities carried out daily.
