St Patrick's RC Primary And Nursery School

Welcome

St Patrick’s is a Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided school situated near the town centre of Oldham. We are a one form entry primary school with a part time nursery. There are currently 203 pupils on roll.   St Patrick’s serves the parish of Our Lady & St Patrick and we are in the Werneth Ward.  We are a very diverse school with children from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and we have approximately 20 different home languages.   St Patrick’s is a happy, caring school where everyone tries their best. We encourage hard work and mutual respect. We have ‘Christ as our vision’ and endeavour to live as Jesus taught us, to love one another and to be forgiving.   Children who join our school become part of the St Patrick’s family along with their families and our parish.  After Easter our doors open at 8:45am, lessons start at 8.50am and the school day ends at 3:15pm. We are moving towards the DFE recommendations of 32.5 hours of schooling per week.
