Welcome to St Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Nursery
Located in the heart of Hartlepool, St Teresa’s offers a warm and welcoming environment where children can flourish, from the moment they join our Nursery at age 3 through to their final year with us. Our spacious grounds inspire outdoor learning, giving pupils opportunities to explore, discover and grow in confidence every day.
Guided by our mission, “Do the little things well,” we celebrate every act of kindness, every success and every step forward. At St Teresa’s, every child is valued, supported and encouraged to dream big as they reach their full potential.
We warmly invite prospective families to discover our school at one of our upcoming Open Events.
