Welcome
Welcome to St Adrian's Catholic Primary School. We are a wonderful one form entry Catholic school in St Albans where community and faith mean everything. The close connections that staff, pupils and parents forge in this school are unmatched. We strive as a community to be inclusive of all families and we work with all pupils to ensure that everyone in our care can not only achieve and belong but thrive.
Our staff are passionate, committed and hardworking and have a genuine care and interest in the pupils they teach.
At St Adrian’s, each child is valued , cared for and their natural talents are drawn out to help them to be the best versions of themselves. They fully show their true colours in the way in which they care and treat one another. The Gospel values are lived out through them in their day to day interactions.
We warmly welcome you to visit to truly see our great school in action. I am very proud to say I am the Headteacher of this school and with such a supportive staff, parent and governing body, not to mention fantastic children, we are truly set up for success!
