St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy

Welcome to our academy. We are a Catholic and Church of England School, nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) in the idyllic seaside town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. 

We see the whole child in our care. We notice the unique talents and gifts they bring. Our staff strive to nurture and develop the smallest flicker of potential, to guide the children to a fulfilled and successful future.


As a parent, you’ll want your child to make a strong start to their education, to feel included and valued, to build towards having choices in life and finding their place within the world. At St Francis we share these thoughts. We want to enrich the lives of the children entrusted to us, to inspire and motivate them to be the best they can be.


St. Francis is a busy, successful school - full of life and offering a welcome to all. We work hard to enrich lives and develop confident, independent learners.
