It is with great pride and pleasure that I warmly welcome you, and your family, to St Patrick’s High School. Students in St Patrick’s are happy and cared for, we have high expectations and instil an aspirational mindset.

We are an all-ability, co-educational Catholic school where every child is recognised and celebrated as an individual. Our child-centred focus ensures that each and every child is guided and supported to shine both inside and outside the classroom.

St Patrick’s is a vibrant learning environment, and this inclusive, caring community ensures success for all in every aspect of school life.

At St Patrick’s High School, we are committed to providing a holistic education that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a supportive and stimulating environment where academic excellence is achieved alongside personal growth and spiritual development. We believe that every child has unique gifts and talents, and it is our mission to help them discover and develop these to the fullest.

Our Catholic ethos and faith are at the core of everything we do. It guides our values and shapes our actions, fostering a sense of respect, compassion, and service to others. Our motto “Respect for yourself and Consideration for others” drives us in all we do.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to the needs of all our students, ensuring they are well prepared for whichever future pathway they choose to follow. It is our hope that every child will succeed and follow a path that brings happiness, satisfaction, and where they can contribute effectively to society.

Our extracurricular activities provide rich opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop new skills, from sports and arts to community service and leadership.

We are proud of our strong partnership with parents, parishes, partner primary schools, and the wider community. Together, we work to create a nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.

Thank you for considering our school for your child's education. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and embarking on this exciting journey together.

Congratulations Ellie who left SPK in 2022❤️ ‘I have recently graduated from Ulster University with two degrees, - Foundation Art and Design - Textile Art, Design and Fashion BA(Hons) with a 2:1 I am a textile designer focusing on creating mobile sensory regulation aids. Aimed to support individuals during a sensory overload. My collection has been inspired by the students I have met in various schools, working one to one with special educational needs children, their feedback has inspired me to create a collection that has all their ideas and sensory needs. Focusing on comfort, colour, design, texture and deep pressure points. By transforming therapeutic tools into bold fashion statements, the project challenges the stigma around stimming and celebrates neurodiversity through design. This is just the beginning of my journey as a SEN textile designer and I plan to continue this through my SEN art teaching career. Moving forward I will be completing my PGCE in September of 2026 to further my career. Advice: “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to fill them, if your dreams do not scare you they are not big enough… there is a younger version of yourself cheering you on, work hard and never give up”
