Information about the School
Welcome to St Pius X Catholic Primary School
Our school is a small, caring and happy school where staff know all of the children and where every child really matters. Our committed staff work hard to provide a rich and challenging curriculum and strive to encourage a love of learning in our pupils to create resilient, life long learners when they leave us. Our curriculum is progressive so that knowledge and skills are built upon over time and designed in a way, using exciting topics (with clear defined subjects) to engage, inspire and motivate our learners so that they hold onto and build upon their learning each year.
Everything we do is underpinned by our Catholic faith with Christ at the centre:
‘Together in God’s loving family, we believe, we learn, we grow’. We work in partnership with parents and the Church to help the children to grow in a deeper understanding of their faith as they develop. We have close links with our parish church, Blessed Sacrament, Chelmsford.
Our school community has agreed core values, based on the Beatitudes that we want our children to work towards in their strive for excellence, to be the very best they can, no matter what their starting point. Our values of fairness, kindness, forgiveness, peacefulness, integrity and service are weaved throughout our curriculum and we reward our children when they demonstrate these values to help them grow to be the very best they can be! We value the joy of working and learning in a community that is strengthened by common values and expectations and that strives to serve God through service towards others. Our children are also taught to respect and value other cultures and faiths.
We believe in high aspirations, high motivation and high achievement for all. We encourage children to have high expectations of themselves and aspire to be the best that they can be.
Our children, staff and parents, and parish are a happy and caring community who work together to enable our children to grow into successful, happy and caring individuals who are ready to go out in the world and make a difference.
We are all proud of our school where pupils enjoy their learning in a caring environment where they feel safe, secure and valued.
