Welcome to St. Norbert's Catholic Primary SchoolLetter from Chair It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to St Norbert’s Catholic Primary School website. St Norbert’s is situated in a quiet residential area in the market town of Spalding. Our children join us from families living in Spalding and the many villages in the surrounding area. The school, which is owned by the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham, was built in 1962 and, over the years, has grown from a two-classroom building to its present size which houses six classrooms, a computer study area, library and a new hall. The school has a playground, large sports field and adventure play area. St Norbert’s has an excellent academic record and is also one of the few schools in Lincolnshire to be awarded the Basic Skills Quality Mark for the second time. For the last three years, St Norbert’s has received the School Achievement Award by the DfES for excellent Standards. But more than that, St Norbert’s is also a caring school where the needs and aspirations of all pupils are provided for by all staff who are fully dedicated to their charges. It is this mix of caring and academic development that underlies the success of our school and is achieved by the commitment of the whole staff, both teaching and non-teaching. On behalf of the Governors and Staff, may I take this opportunity to thank you for your interest.Chairman of Governors Letter from HeadThank you for your interest in sending your child to St Norbert’s School. Our school is different because it has its foundation in the Gospel values. We are committed to Catholic education and your child will be expected to participate fully in the spiritual life of the school with your support. We are proud of our achievements here at St Norbert’s. Within our school we seek to create a supportive and friendly environment, where each child has the opportunity to develop spiritually, intellectually and socially. Our school is a happy and secure place where children are encouraged to aim for the highest possible standards in all they do. We strive to develop open, co-operative and positive relationships between the home and the school with Parents and Carers becoming active partners in their children’s education. Where such relationships exist, then the best foundations for a true education have been laid. The partnership we develop is important to the growth of your child. We recognise that a child is deeply influenced by its Parents and a Catholic school can only build upon what you are doing at home. The Church’s declaration on Christian Education states: ‘Parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children’. With your help, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we, at St. Norbert’s School, will endeavour to educate the heart, mind and body of the child you have entrusted to us. On behalf of all the governors, staff and children, I welcome you to be part of our school community. We look forward to our partnership with you and your child. I look forward to meeting you.Mrs L. Yarnell
