Pupils let their light shine at St Pius XÂ
Our dynamic, inclusive and nurturing learning environment offers an education which inspires academic excellence for all.
Our Mission
Christ Be Our Light.
Our children know that they are made in the image and likeness of Christ: HIS light shines through them. They try to be like Jesus in all that they say and do and to see Jesus in those around them. They too are special; they are chosen; they are loved and they let their lights shine brightly for all to see with the hope of creating a better society.
Our Curriculum
St Pius X is a forward thinking, innovative school which draws on the latest research developments in educational theory.
St Pius X curriculum is coherent, connected and cumulative. It sets out the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils need to learn to achieve ambitious end points.
From their first day at school, we aim to take pupils beyond the acquisition of knowledge to a deeper understanding of concepts and skills. We promote the skills of higher-order thinking, challenging students to apply their knowledge and understanding to problems and situations previously not experienced. Pupils benefit from regular opportunities to practise new concepts and to revisit prior learning
Forming Lives Ready to Face the Future
Our academic programme of study is further enhanced by a diverse and extensive range of
extra curricular activities, which provides our pupils with the cultural capital and experiences they need to thrive in modern day Britain. This includes our unique passport of 33 experiences of a St Pius X pupil. These are designed to expand social experience, encourage active contribution to the school community and help students to develop teamwork, leadership and other vital life skills.
Our Staff

Our Community
A key feature of St Pius X is our warm and inclusive school community, which welcomes newcomers with open arms.
Our world needs outstanding citizens who have the skills and desire to make a difference, be that on a local, national or global level.
