Our Vision and Mission
Blessed Mother Teresa’s Catholic Primary School is a Christian community based on the Gospel values of love, respect and tolerance; the teaching of Jesus Christ is reflected in the school’s caring attitude and determination to help all children of all abilities to achieve success and self-confidence.
Our school promotes the development of the whole person by encouraging each child to achieve his or her full potential; spiritually, morally and academically.
We recognise the important role of parents as our partners in guiding the children’s development, and this is reflected in the school’s welcoming and co-operative attitude to all of our families.
