Background:
St Patrick's RC Primary was founded in 1910 and was originally housed in the Church Hall before its present buildings were opened in 1930. Recently, funding from City Challenge together with contributions from the community, parents and business, has allowed a transformation of the interior of the school including the addition of a family room, a new office, a food technology area, a nursery, a computer suite, and general refurbishment and redecoration. St Patricks is essentially a community school, 'serving disadvantaged parents, many of whom have aspirations for their children, seeing good education as hugely important for them'. It aims to 'repay their commitment to school improvement through effective commitment to academic excellence and by holding events such as festivals and concerts to which the community is invited'. Children also give to charities such as National Children's Homes, Denim for Diabetes, CAFOD, Christian Aid and local charities. European links are fostered through linked schools in Italy, France and Rumania, while pupils have had the chance to meet their pen-pals from France in London and residential trips abroad are arranged for older children. Extra-curricular activites include the 'acclaimed' choir, homework club, design clubs, and the garden and environment group. The boys football team were county champions in 1998 and other teams, including girls football, compete with great sportsmanship and team-work. 'We attempt to give our children a dynamic and challenging education firmly rooted in tradition and Gospel values.' The school is over-subscribed.
