Welcome to St Teresa's School website.

Applications

St Teresa's is a one form entry  Infant school with a sixty place nursery.  The Nursery has places available for morning and afternoon sessions.  It also has a two and a half day option - eithor all day Monday, all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning or the end of the week i,e, Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday and all day Friday.  We are now taking applications for the next academic year i.e. September 2012 and January 2013 and March 2013.

The Infant school has three classes catering for children between the ages of 4 to 7 years; Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.  There are generally 30 in each class with a teacher and an assistant teacher. Applications for the following September entry are made in the September of the previous year.

The School

The school was founded in 1869 as the parish school for St Joseph’s Parish. St Teresa’s Church was built later next to the school. Links between parish, school and local community remain very close.

St Teresa's rejoices in its long tradition but prides itself on being a friendly, child-centred school, with excellent standards and a forward-looking staff.
“A modern school in a lovely Victorian building” was how one Ofsted inspector phrased it.  St Teresa's was outstanding in all elements in its last Ofsted report  in May 2007 and also judged outstanding by the Archdiocese in its Ofsted Inspection element covering the religious education of the school in November 2007.  The interim assessment of the school by Ofsted in July 2010 indicated that the school has maintained its standards.   It achieved the Financial Management Standard in Schools Award in March 2009 and the Extended Schools Status in November 2009. The school received its Bronze Eco Award in September 2010. It renewed its Healthy Schools Award in July 2011.

In 2011 the school had a major extension in the form of a new Foundation Stage Winter Garden and new administrative area.
