Located in the heart of the Tandridge community, St Francis' Catholic Primary School is a caring and nurturing school dedicated to educating children aged 4-11. We provide an environment for our pupils where every child is known, valued and respected as part of God's family. Rooted in the teaching of Christ and inspired by our belief that children are wonderfully made, we seek to nurture faith, inspire a love of learning, and help every child flourish spiritually academically and personally within our warm and welcoming school community.

As a Catholic school, our vision is that each of our children have the figure of Christ in their lives. Through our faith, we grow hearts and recognise the importance of developing children who are active, attentive and eloquent. We focus on each child’s ability to think and act collaboratively, showing consideration to the world around us and solidarity to others. We are guided by our faith and we encourage our children to live and act according to the Gospel Values, to put our mission in action. We explore the seven Catholic Social Teachings and use them as our moral compass, guiding us on how to be active in our engagement with the world to change what we can for the better.

Our children are encouraged to give of the best in all they do, to understand their beliefs and those around them and to work and play happily together. They are further encouraged to express their God given talents and to show qualities of honesty, tolerance, forgiveness, caring and patience.

Through our broad and balanced curriculum, we grow minds that are motivated to question and develop a thirst for knowledge. We encourage our children to aspire for academic excellence and have high aspirations for themselves. We develop in each of our children a set of learning behaviours, helping each child to develop in qualities such as participation, respect and teamwork. At St Francis,, our children’s views and ideas are respected and encouraged, and we help to build resilient attitudes which rise to a challenge and support each child to become a become lifelong learner.

At St Francis, nobody gets left behind: we provide memorable experiences which ensure that every child has access to a range of unique opportunities which enhance their lives in school and beyond. We firmly believe that it is not just about what happens in the classroom, it is about the added value we offer which truly inspires our children.

We hope that our website along with information on our social-media pages (Instagram) will give you an insight into our thriving school community. We also warmly welcome visits to our school so that you can see our learning in action.

Please do not hesitate to contact our School Office to arrange a tour.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
