I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our school website. I hope that you enjoy visiting our website and that it helps you to understand more about our school and how we live and work together as a learning community of faith.

Our aim is to make St. Ambrose Barlow Catholic Primary School an exciting, safe and happy environment in which the children can make the most of their God given talents. St. Ambrose Barlow is a voluntary aided primary school with an average of 210 pupils. There are seven classes, one for each year group. Our community is shaped by our Catholic faith and values and it is within this context that the growth and development of our children takes place. As a school we work together with governors, parents and parish in a collective community of faith and vision. Parents are invited to play a full and active part, with the staff and governors, in continuing to strengthen our community of faith.

We are proud to say that we live our Mission Statement daily and have a very happy school where everyone is valued. Our aim is for our children to live confident, healthy, fulfilling and safe lives. We want them to grow to be responsible citizens, living the gospel values and able to make a positive contribution to society. Visitors to our school always comment on the calm and welcoming atmosphere and on the excellent good manners that our children never fail to display.

The school has a very strong academic record as well as an excellent reputation for pastoral care. We were delighted with our last Ofsted report which commented on many outstanding features of the school, and our SATs results are consistently well above average.
