"With Jesus in our hearts, we nurture each individual to reach their full potential."
St Boniface's Catholic Primary School teaches RE rooted in Lighting the Path, Salford Diocesan Scheme and Come and See schemes of work as approved by the Salford Diocese. It is an inclusive school that promotes mutual respect for diverse faiths. From Early Years to Year 6, all classes engage with Catholic teaching while following the Liturgical calendar. The school enriches its Catholic life through activities such as involvement in masses, whole school mission days, weekly word celebrations focused on scripture, collaboration with the parish and with other parish schools, charitable works, and the Caritas, Chaplaincy and Laudato Si teams. It uses Big Questions to inspire thinking and acknowledges that parents may withdraw their child from all or part of RE lessons.
Head Teacher Stella Groarke welcomes visitors and describes St. Boniface as a warm, caring and nurturing Catholic community with high standards and a partnership approach with parents.
