St Patrick Catholic primary school is situated just off York Road (A64) in inner-east Leeds. The school serves an area of high deprivation with a diverse cultural community and a thriving supportive parish. 87% of the pupils are Catholic. The school is oversubscribed with waiting lists in most year groups. The staffing at St Patrick’s has historically been very stable with many staff enjoying long and happy careers here. I was appointed head teacher in September 2019 and have been touched by the warmth of welcome from the school community as a whole. We have started on an exciting journey here at St. Patrick’s; one that focusses on delivering an exciting and engaging curriculum that provides our pupils with the very best possible start to their education and places Christ and the Gospel virtues at the centre.
