Summary

St Pancras Catholic Primary School, located in Ipswich, is a voluntary aided primary school with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1871. Originally situated next to St Pancras Church, the school relocated to Stratford Road in 1957 to accommodate a growing student population. Today, it serves 204 pupils, with a capacity of 206, and is part of the Our Lady of Walsingham Multi Academy Trust.

The school’s mission emphasises a nurturing environment where faith, kindness, and learning are integral to daily life. St Pancras aims to provide a high-quality education, encouraging pupils to achieve their best while fostering positive behaviour and a sense of pride in their work. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive and challenging, ensuring that all students are supported in their academic and personal development.

As a community-focused institution, St Pancras maintains strong links with local Catholic schools, particularly St. Alban’s Catholic High School, where many pupils transition after primary education. The school actively engages parents in promoting the value of education, creating a collaborative atmosphere that benefits student learning and well-being.
