Holy Cross is a Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School for boys and girls and it also includes a part time nursery. It was founded by the La Sainte Union order who remain its trustees. Our school is Christ-centred and based on Gospel values. Our aim is to address both the spiritual and academic needs of the children in our care and provide them with the opportunities necessary to develop all aspects of their personality and being.
We believe that every child has the right to the best possible education that we can provide. We recognise that children will have differing abilities and will learn in different ways. Holy Cross is a Catholic School which seeks to build a closer partnership with parents, the parish and the wider community.

I love that my children feel safe and happy at Holy Cross. There is a culture of high achievement, respect and love for others. My children see the world as a beautiful place and the school provides an environment that supports this. SAT results are great and their is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on bullying.
