Welcome to St Chads Catholic Primary School

At St Chad’s, our exciting Forest School programme is at the heart of learning. Children enjoy hands-on adventures that spark creativity, build resilience and nurture a love of the outdoors. From exploring woodland areas to discovering new skills in nature, every day brings opportunities to grow, imagine and thrive.

We are delighted to welcome 3 and 4-year-olds into our friendly and caring nursery, where little learners can make new friends, grow in confidence and enjoy a warm, nurturing start to their education.

Families are invited to our Early Years Open Morning on Tuesday 10th November, 9.00am to 10.30am, where you can see our Nursery and Reception environments in action, meet our friendly staff and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.

St Chad’s is a welcoming and inclusive community where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their very best. With wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, children feel happy, confident and ready to learn. By choosing St Chad’s, your child becomes part of a caring school family where compassion, confidence and curiosity flourish every day.
