Welcome to St Francis Xavier’s RC Primary School

'Love one another as I have loved you'

Welcome to our wonderful school: St Francis Xavier’s RC Primary.  I hope that you find everything you need on our website, but should you wish to contact the school office on 01432 273941 for further information or to visit, we would be delighted to help you with your enquiries.

As a Catholic School, we are passionate about supporting parents and carers with developing their child's unique character and utilising and encouraging their God-given gifts. We encourage our children to Share God's Love with others, Follow their dreams and eXcel in citizenship.  We seek to invite all into a life of discipleship and love by following the teachings of Jesus Christ. 

In our most recent Ofsted inspection, in September 2021, we were delighted that it was recognised that:

       Pupils thrive, succeed and love being at school. This is shown in their regular attendance and exceptional  

       attitudes to learning. They flourish socially, academically and emotionally due to the excellent standard

       of education and nurture that they receive.

      Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are mature, polite and well mannered. They demonstrate high levels

      of care and consideration for each other and are very respectful to staff and visitors.

Please find the full Ofsted report on our school website.

Our children love to learn in a stimulating environment, using the latest technology, whilst also enjoying the wonders of nature in our extensive grounds. At St Francis Xavier's, we have developed an exciting and knowledge rich curriculum, helping our children to become eloquent, confident and resilient learners. 

If you would like to apply for a place in our school, please complete the online application form through Herefordshire Council. Additionally, you will need to complete one of our application forms which are available to download from our website.

Excellent academic standards are achieved across a vibrant curriculum that ignites learning.
