SCHOOL NAME

The name Padbury was given to the school as the Archbishop at the time asked that schools be referred to according to their locality. A survey to change the name was held at a later date but it was decided to keep the name as it is still today - Padbury Catholic Primary School.

 MOTTO & EMBLEM

  • Our Motto: Foundation Principal Sister Carmel chose the motto of ‘Love one Another’ (John 13:34) as it is the first and greatest of all the commandments. If we do this then all other virtues will be a part of our life.

​

  • The Cross: The cross is stylised on the Mercy Cross because of the link with the Sisters of Mercy and Sister Carmel Wringe who was the Foundation Principal. It also represents Christ as the foundation of all that we aspire to be as a Catholic school.

​

  • The Rainbow of the Covenant: Every time we see a rainbow we are reminded of our friendship with God. This friendship is called a ‘covenant’ and as God promised Noah never to turn a back on those people chosen as partners and friends, our job is to make this a world of peace and love and never turn away from the God who cares for us.

​

  • The Water: Water symbolises our Baptism and also represents God’s gift of the ocean to us as part of our locality.
