A very warm welcome to our wonderful one-form-entry Catholic primary school, situated in beautiful grounds in East Cowes, overlooking the Solent at the edge of the Osborne House estate. Holy Cross is a school where we strive to achieve our best in all that we do as we follow the Gospel values of Jesus Christ. We provide a stimulating and caring place for learning, where children are nurtured and their talents are developed and celebrated.
Our focus on developing the whole child means our school is a place of fun, laughter and learning, with the Gospel values woven into all aspects of school life. We encourage learning outside the classroom through visits to places of interest and through our wonderful local environment. Our woodland Forest School offers all children, from Reception to Year 6, the opportunity to develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on experiences.
Our mission statement, “One School Family, Achieving Together, Anchored in the Love of Christ,” reflects the nurturing feel of our community and our aim for every pupil to achieve, all underpinned by our strong Catholic ethos.
While we are proud to be a Catholic school, we warmly welcome families of all faiths and of no religious faith. Every child is valued as unique and precious, and we celebrate the diverse experiences and beliefs they bring to our school family.
Our close relationship with families is at the heart of everything we do — strong home-school connections help every child grow with confidence, curiosity and a love of learning.
For those new to our school, I hope you find the information on our website helpful. We would be delighted to welcome you for a visit, and we look forward to meeting you soon.
