Welcome To Holy Cross CE Primary School

Welcome to our website. Holy Cross Church of England Primary School is an inclusive Voluntary Aided School which is part of the Henshaw Trust and caters for children aged 4-11 years. School has the capacity for 480 pupils (which includes Nursery).

Our Christian vision is centred around ‘Learning, Loving and Growing Together, Strengthened by God’s Love’ and provides the basis of the spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and moral development of our children, staff and families. Please ensure you browse through our related pages so you can understand our vision and how central it is to our core purpose.

Holy Cross is an incredibly special place and that is because we place our children at the centre of everything we do. We want our pupils to be happy, safe, responsible, confident, and for every child to achieve their ever growing potential. For us, nothing else is good enough.

Whenever anyone joins Holy Cross, they are welcomed into our family with respect and love, enjoying the sense of community that this cultivates. We all see ourselves as lifelong learners and we are constantly self-reflecting and developing ourselves in order to achieve excellence. You could call this a ‘growth mind-set’- a fundamental belief that our potential has no limits. With this commitment and belief, we make an awesome team.

We aim to help nurture children into becoming independent, resilient, reflective, and considerate life-long learners who will have the skills to adapt to an ever changing world. We value the vital partnerships of our families and community in helping achieve this. Indeed, we have a whole team of dedicated professionals with the specific remit of engaging with, and supporting, our parents and families.

Finally, we have a genuine desire to work with others because to be able to share strengths is not only a privilege but a responsibility. If you are interested in what we do here at Holy Cross, please contact us to arrange a visit.

We frequently use Facebook to help keep you up to date with what’s happening in school. This is updated regularly with photographs and samples of work that our children have worked hard to produce. Please take a few moments to explore our pages, browse our images and read a variety of work samples. It would mean a lot to our children if you did.

Thank you for your interest in our school.
