Our children work very hard and are well behaved, but they are also regcognised as being unique individuals The Holy Spirit is an inclusive school and believe that every child is given plenty opportunities to explore and regcognise their gifts and talents. We are also proud of our staff, who put in huge amount of hours into preparing and delivering lessons, while also giving the children the pastoral care and attention they need. The Holy Spirit team include our Family Support Worker and SENDCO,they work together in partnership to ensure that all pupils develop as learners and responsible citizens.

A message from the Chair of Governors
My name is Kathy Keig and I am currently the Chair of Governors for The Holy Spirit school, I have been a governor for over 20 years, my sister used to work in the school and I was immediately attracted by the warmth and welcome I received whenever I visited.
I was invited to become a governor and signed up for a 3 year contract and have been here ever since; I am now retired. I have a background of working in the NHS and in the educational sector. Having been a director of Central Services at LIverpool University's Guild of Students,ee I have been able to draw on the skills I required in my working career to make a useful contribution in my governor role.
I see the role as a representative within the school, to act on behalf of the Local Authority and the Shrewsbury Diocese, to ensure all statutory regulations are met and that we run a safe and secure school for the children. I also believe we have to support the Head and staff to achieve the very high standards they set to ensure that every child achieves their maximum educational potential .
As Chair of Governors I believe that I have the responsibility to see that, " In the spirit of love and forgiveness our family learns to grow with hope and joy " Then we are truly putting our Catholic ethos and mission into practice every day.
