Community
Whilst being a Catholic School and therefore distinctive in our Faith commitment, we work very hard to be part of the wider Nailsea community. All staff attend regular meetings at other schools in the area and Head Teachers meet at least once each term.
We enjoy a special relationship with St. Bede’s Catholic College in Bristol, where it is hoped that children from our two local parishes will attend when they leave aged eleven. Teachers visit each other’s school and exchange expertise. Maths and Science teachers from St Bede’s have led some of our gifted and talented children in extension work. Staff from St. Bede’s are welcome visitors to our parent teacher evenings in October and February.
We also enjoy strong links with the local secondary schools and pupils attend a number of functions ranging from sport to music festivals and science.
The children take part in sporting competitions with other schools in the area - we are part of a local football, netball and cricket league. Music festivals take place in Nailsea for Year 2 and lower Key Stage Two. We also celebrate in song and dance at the county-wide MAWS concert held at the Colston Hall each March.
“The Friends of St. Francis” join other parent associations in the town and arrange a float for the Nailsea Carnival which takes place in July.
We are pleased to receive visits from the Police and Fire Brigade.
Parents and grandparents attend the school to help the children better access the curriculum and the local Rotary Club have supported us over recent years in working with children in the computer suite.
We enjoy our high profile and status within the wider community and will continue to be an open, welcoming school.
