Serving the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes and St William's - at the heart of the West Bradford.

We are very happy to welcome you to our school website.

   Our Mission Statement is reflected in the whole life of our school which is a worshiping community, nurturing the Faith of all those in our care. As a small one-form entry, family school, the spiritual, moral, emotional and social well-being of every child is a priority to us. We value the links between school, home and parish, recognising the shared responsibility we have in the all-round development of all of our children.

   Our broad and balanced curriculum is enriched with visitors, visits, events and activities to inspire in each child a joy of learning. We expect all of our children to be honest, respectful and caring to others and to work hard to develop the skills and knowledge that will allow them to achieve success now and in the future. We provide a range of experiences and opportunities to make mistakes in a safe environment, reaffirming that we need to work hard, persevere and never give up in order to succeed. Effort and hard work are celebrated as part of our belief that we are all life-long learners.

   Families are provided with regular information about all aspects of school life in our half -termly class curriculum newsletters. We are very proud of all of our children - the progress they make and all that they achieve. We offer many opportunities for discussion about, and celebration of, your child's progress throughout the school year. Working closely together we can ensure that both you and your child have a happy and successful journey through primary school!

  We extend a warm invitation to all families to come and see why St. William's Catholic Primary School is such a special place!

Stamp out bullying!

Bullying is a behaviour that is: repeated, intended to hurt someone either physically or emotionally, often aimed at a certain individual or group because of ‘difference’ (race, religion, gender or sexual orientation).  It takes many forms and can include: physical aggression, teasing, exclusion from games, making threats, name calling, cyberbullying via mobile phones or online (email, texts, social networks and instant messenger). Bullying is wrong. As a whole school focus, we have made our feelings known about this issue.  The children have produced recipes for a good friend, written poems about friendship and bullying, and reports on cyberbullying. 

At St. William’s we celebrate diversity and we come together to STAMP OUT BULLYING.
