St Luke’s is a thriving Christian school which achieves very good outcomes for all pupils. We enjoy very good relationships, both within school and within the wider community. At the very core of the school is our ethos of kindness and going the ‘extra mile’ in all situations. Anyone working at the school would need to apply the principle of treating the children as if they were their own children and with the upmost love and care.
