We also have pupils who attend from the Church of England Parish. There are four feeder primary schools from the previously named parishes within Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick.
The size of St. Patrick's school enables both staff and pupils to be acknowledged as valuable individuals and to worship as one community. The relationship between the school and the three parishes adds another positive dimension to the support provided by both staff and pupils at the school.
