Welcome from the Principal – Mr Burke

>> Ascension Catholic Academy Trust

I am delighted to welcome you to our website.

Choosing the right school is a vitally important decision. Let me assure you that St Richard Reynolds is a place where our young people come first, and everyone will be loved, listened to, challenged and inspired so that we can help each other become the person that God created us to be.

We are committed to the pursuit of excellence in all that we do and if you entrust your child to us you will see that we work tirelessly to achieve this. We are hugely ambitious academically for all our young people. However, we also want them to live lives which are personally, socially and spiritually fulfilling.

If you are considering applying for a place for your child here, I urge you to sign up to one of our open days or tours. I look forward to meeting you.

If you are interested in working with our team, please let us know what you could offer and visit the ‘Vacancies‘ section for details of current opportunities.
