All our policies and practice reflect the distinctive nature of our Catholic school and are inspired by our Mission Statement, 'Be who God created you to be and you will set the world on fire.'

St Catherine of Siena Catholic Primary School is one which promotes the formation and flourishing of the whole person and prepares our pupils for life in the rapidly changing and multi-cultural British society in which we live. Christ is at the centre of all that we do. The belief that we are all loved by God underpins our educational mission and ethos.
This particular group of Sisters was founded in South Africa, in 1896, by Mother Rose Niland and from the beginning, Education was their mission focus. The Dominican Family draws its inspiration from St Dominic (who lived in the 12th and 13th centuries) and has spread all over the world, engaging in the mission of bringing the gospel message and good news of Christ.
On behalf of the Governing Board of St Catherine's may I welcome you to our school and wish all parents and children a long and successful association with us. We are blessed with committed and enthusiastic governors, most of whom have been parents of children at the school at one time or another. They give their time voluntarily and bring skills from a wide variety of backgrounds, for the benefit of the school and the children in our care.
At St Catherine's our Junior Leadership Team our the agents for change within the school. The team aren't voted for, they have to apply for the position and undergo a rigorous interview process. Once the Year 6 JLT are selected, they lead the interviews for the rest of the school.
The JLT are our ultimate ambassadors, they are role models for the younger pupils, collect pupil voice from their classes and work with the Senior Leadership Team to improve the school.At the end of the school year, the JLT make a presentation to the Governing Body, outlining all that they have achieved that year.

If your looking for a school that will understand your child and take the time to get to know there individual needs and personalities this is your place, my son has been in numerous schools and this is the first place that felt like they actually care and would do anything to make sure that the child can come into school and feel welcomed and included something you don't find very easily! Hidden gem.

St Cat's is an amazing school!! The staff are exceptional and the facilities are great - how many schools in Garston have a farm area with ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens! Wrap around care is super convenient as you don't need to book in advance. And they have great links with St Michael's which is just across the school field. Our little one loves going and looks forward to school everyday.
