Mission Statement

St Richard`s: Our Mission 

`WE LEARN TO LOVE AND GROW IN JESUS` 

At St. Richard’s Catholic Primary School, we are committed to fostering a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every child is recognised as unique and equal in God’s eyes. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, our school is a place where love, kindness, and respect are lived daily. We believe that every child has their own talents and strengths, and it is our mission to inspire, motivate, and support them to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. We strive to create a school where pupils flourish academically, socially, and spiritually—valued for who they are and encouraged to shine.

Through our shared Christian values and strong sense of community, we aim to nurture a lifelong love of learning and a deep, personal faith. Our mission statement underpins all we do:
