At Alice Ingham Catholic Primary School we call our Reception children the seeds and our Laudato Si Team the gardeners — a simple image of care and growth at the heart of our community.

Our youngest pupils are gently welcomed and supported as they begin school life, while older pupils, especially those in the Laudato Si Team, guide, encourage and model our values. This caring partnership helps children settle, gain confidence and grow in faith and friendship.

Together they take part in shared worship, play, reading and projects that nurture both practical skills and kindness. Step by step, with patience and respect, our seeds and gardeners flourish — living out our mission: Journeying to excellence through faith and learning.
