St John the Baptist Catholic Primary, Normanton

I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher of such a wonderful school and a very special learning community, full of happy, well-behaved children who are a pleasure to teach and enthusiastic, hardworking and committed staff. All of the staff at our school work very hard to make lessons interesting, exciting and challenging and aim to help each child find their best way of learning.

We have high expectations in terms of teaching and children’s learning, behaviour and standards of achievement and, as a result, our pupils are keen and they feel proud of their success in all areas of the curriculum, which we celebrate with great pride and admiration.

Our vision is to educate children in the spirit of the Gospel Values and the traditions of the Catholic Church, nurturing the talents and the potential of each wonderful, unique individual.

Our children are encouraged to develop an awareness and respect for others as well as themselves and are a real credit to the school community.
