Our School
Welcome to St. Vincent's Catholic Primary School
St. Vincent's Catholic Primary School is part of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust and serves the parish of Our Lady and St. Vincent. Our school community is made-up of children, parents, carers, governors and staff, and each member has an important role to play in supporting the school's values, ethos and aims. Here at St. Vincent’s, we have created a caring, stimulating and disciplined learning environment: a place where every child has the motivation, opportunity and support to fulfil their learning potential.

Gospel teachings are central to our school-life and, through these, we dedicate each day to God with our school prayer:
Lord, bless our school
so that by working together and playing together
we may learn to serve you and to serve one another,
Amen
The formal school day starts at 08:55 am and ends at 3:25pm. The school week covers 32.5 hours.
