"Grow in Love; Live in Peace"
Our Catholic faith is at the very heart of everything we do and is evident as soon as you step through our doors in what you will see, hear and feel inside St Chad's. All of our assemblies and prayer services throughout the week are rooted in the teachings of Jesus. We have daily acts of collective worship, assemblies, hymn practices and prayer services.
On behalf of the staff and governors of St Chad’s, I warmly welcome you to our school. Our motto is Grow in Love; Live in Peace. The school is a nurturing, inclusive Catholic community with high academic outcomes, and was recognised as outstanding in denominational inspection in December 2022. We welcome families of all faiths and are proud of our diverse and inclusive community.
