Two named staff members lead SEN provision.

“Our SEN leads are Mrs Murphy and Mrs Lee.”

The school says it takes safeguarding duties extremely seriously and has robust systems to safeguard children.

“St Raphael’s we take our Safeguarding duties extremely seriously.”

The school runs Operation Encompass jointly with Greater Manchester Police to support children affected by domestic violence.

“On 21st January 2019 St Raphael’s are implementing a new project that will run jointly between schools and Greater Manchester Police.”

The curriculum promotes Gospel values, aspiration, resilience, care, community pride and belonging.

“We want the children at St Raphael’s not just to know the Gospel values of compassion, justice, forgiveness, respect, perseverance, courage and community but to live them. We want the children to leave with the personal qualities and skill set to fulfil their own aspirations and have the courage to embrace the challenges they may face on this path and have strategies to deal with setbacks. We want the children to be caring and have pride in their community and a sense of belonging that will enable them to live life to the full.”

The school aims to provide a secure, happy environment where pupils are valued individually and cooperate with others.

“We work to provide a school environment in which pupils are happy, feel secure and valued as individuals and learn to co-operate with one another.”

The school provides primary education only, from nursery through Year 6, so this page does not describe sixth-form provision.

“Our school provides primary education from nursery age to Year 6 accommodated across the main school building and the purpose built Early Years Foundation Stage.”
