St Philip Neri Primary School Gateshead

St Philip's is a warm, friendly Catholic Primary School founded in 1882 in Dunston, Gateshead for children aged 4 - 11. We are proud of our many achievements and strive to live out our mission statement together.

'Living and learning together with a joyous heart'

• Fostering a Christian atmosphere through the Word of God, the Gospels and the example of Jesus Christ.


• Where values drawn from the Gospels are seen in all that is attempted and achieved and where the love of God touches all who come into contact with the school.


• In partnership with parents and external agencies to promote the well-being of all children and to provide support for every child to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being.


• In order to further establish the school in the wider community allowing all members to grow in self respect and confidence.


• Where individuals develop their potential, acquire knowledge and skills and grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually.


• Where children experience the joy of learning through a curriculum which is broad, balanced, exciting and challenging.
