St Ursula’s Catholic Junior school was opened in 1957. Whilst it was being built, the Infant School hall was used as a classroom for the Junior school children. In 1955 Sister Bernadine was the Headteacher of the newly built school and in 1957 she became the Headteacher of the Infant School. Sister Paul became the Headteacher of the Junior School.
60 years after the Junior school was built, it was decided that both schools would work towards becoming 1 school. In 2017, the Infant School and Junior School federated and became St Ursula’s Catholic Federation; however, both schools were still classed as separate entities and although there was 1 Headteacher and both schools were working closer together, one was still a Junior School and the other an Infant school.
It was decided in 2019 that both schools would finally become 1 school (amalgamate) to form a new primary school and in 2020 St Ursula’s Catholic Primary school was formed!
