Welcome to Christ The King Catholic Primary School. Having been a member of the school for a number of years, I know what a fantastic place it is to be part of. We have a real sense of community, where everyone matters. Governors, staff, parents, members of the parish and of course, the pupils, all make Christ the King the outstanding school it is.

Our governors, parents, staff and Father Thé work hard together to ensure that our outstanding status, both academically and with regards to the religious and spiritual provision for our children, remains just that. We endeavour to ensure that our children receive the very best education based upon the firm foundations of the Catholic Church’s teachings. We continually aim to provide all of our children with as many opportunities as possible to help them to continue to grow in their journey of faith; make good choices, be confident, articulate, independent and responsible young people, whilst feeling safe and happy.

We hope that you will enjoy looking at our career site and find out a little more about our school.

Headteacher

Christ the King Catholic Primary School first opened on 20th April 1936. There were 235 pupils on roll and only FIVE teachers working alongside the head teacher, Mr Howard.

In 2016 we celebrated the 80th anniversary of our school with lots of fun events - including a Mass for ex-pupils led by Archbishop Bernard and a tea party for the 80 year-olds in our parish.

There are now over 400 pupils who attend Christ the King School each day and in our ‘Class Pages’ in the ‘Pupils’ arm of the signpost you can find out lots more about what we do in school.

Our Catholicity is given the highest priority throughout the whole school building - as you will see from the photographs below. In the Summer of 2019 we opened our new prayer garden which is named ‘Olu’s Garden’ in loving memory of Mr Olu Dosumu, our well-loved and respected chair of governors and Christ the King School’s biggest fan.
