'Outstanding' catholic school in Southport.
Welcome to St Teresa's Catholic Infant & Nursery School.
The school is a one form entry school with a sixty place nursery. It
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.
The school 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. The school 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 and that the next school inspection will not take place any earlier than September 2011. 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 and is curently working towards its Silver Award. 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.
