Headteacher's Welcome
At St Teresa’s, we are a loving and caring Catholic community where every individual is valued and treated with dignity and respect. Our faith is at the heart of all that we do and teach. We strive to ensure that the presence of God is reflected in our daily lives, and that each individual grows in the knowledge and love of Christ.
We believe that education is a journey shared by children, staff, parents, families and the wider community. Working in partnership, we provide an education rooted in the values of living life through Christ, where Gospel values inspire us to learn, grow and serve others. A commitment to justice, compassion and respect underpins our relationships and our approach to school life.

Wellbeing-for-all
At St Teresa's we value the wellbeing of all our children, parents, staff and governors. We are committed to providing support for all and being able to signpost people for external support if we cannot do this within school.
We have two dedicated Senior Mental Health Leads who work tirelessly with children and staff. They meet regularly to listen to concerns and celebrate everything we do well in school.
Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust
Mater Ecclesiae is one of three Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (CMATs) formed by the Diocese of Lancaster to protect, preserve, nourish and enhance the Catholic religion through the establishment, maintenance and development of Catholic schools.
Mater Ecclesiae was formed in 2022 and currently consists of seven Catholic primary schools and one Catholic secondary school. In geographical terms, the Trust extends across Preston and rural Preston and all are within the local authority area of Lancashire. We currently have 287 staff and educate over 2,200 children and young people in our care. Our head office is located in Fulwood, Preston.

Safeguarding
St Teresa's Catholic Primary school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have a number of polices and procedures in place that contribute to that commitment.
We actively support the Government's Prevent agenda to counter radicalisation and extremism.
