As the only integrated primary school in the area, Saints and Scholars are proud of the diversity that exists within their school.
At Saints and Scholars, they believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and inspired. Their school is a place where children are happy, respected, and loved—where kindness, friendship, and genuine care are part of everyday life.
They provide a vibrant and nurturing environment where learning is seen as a lifelong journey. Through high-quality teaching and pastoral care, they help children grow into confident, independent learners who are socially aware, emotionally resilient, and academically prepared for the future.
Saints and Scholars core values—Happiness, Respect, and Love—guide everything they do.
These values are lived out daily in the relationships they build and the inclusive culture fostered. When children feel secure and celebrated for who they are, they flourish.
They aim to nurture well-rounded individuals with a love for life and learning. Guided by the four principles of Integrated Education—Equality, Faith and Values, Parental Involvement, and Social Responsibility— creating a safe, creative, and welcoming environment where every child, regardless of background, can reach their full potential.
School motto, “It takes a world of differences to make a different world,” reflects their commitment to celebrating diversity. Children from Catholic and Protestant backgrounds, other faiths and none, learn with, from, and about each other, promoting equality and good relations among all members of the school community.
