Firstly, may we warmly welcome you to our wonderful school. When you visit St Gerard's you will see and feel our catholic school ethos and our passion for teaching and learning. Here, we ensure that the curriculum is vast, exciting and inspires all learners whilst being underpinned by our core values. Time is taken for all the children to be valued and nurtured academically and spiritually. We have strong links with our faith and enjoy a shared partnership with the surrounding community.
As the Headteacher, I strive for children and staff to aim high and believe in themselves, ensuring they unlock all of their potential.
Feel free to contact the school office on: 0151 424 2879 to make an appointment. If you wish to have any of the information on hard copy, paper copies will be available upon request.
Warm wishes,
Mr. K Landrum
