St John Rigby Catholic Primary School

St John Rigby Catholic Primary School Welcome to St John Rigby Catholic Primary, a family-orientated thriving community in Bedford.

We are a family-orientated thriving community with extremely talented and dedicated members of staff, supportive parents and carers, and inspirational children who strive to live out our Gospel Values of Faith, Love, Hope, Trust and Forgiveness in every aspect of their school life.​

As a Catholic community, we share a desire to see each individual, precious child, grow and develop in a loving, safe and inspiring environment. All of the children are encouraged to grow in the love of God and one another, to develop their unique and God-given talents, to form lasting friendships and to strive for excellence in everything they do. St John Rigby Catholic Primary School is located in the Putnoe area of Bedford and is situated in beautiful, spacious grounds which provide the children with excellent open air facilities for exercise as well as a natural resource for the environmental work in the school. The school primarily serves the parishes of Holy Cross and SS Philip and James, St Frances Cabrini and other parishes in the Bedford Deanery.

We are SO proud of all our rocksteady bands who performed yesterday and today for their end of term concert. It was lovely to hear about the skills they have developed during their rehearsals too. Thank you to Rocksteady Music School for inspiring our children, and encouraging them to be rockstars! 🎸
