Welcome from the Headteacher
Welcome to La Salette Catholic Primary School. We are a small Catholic School located in Rainham, within the London Borough of Havering.
As a school we place our Catholic faith and the education of all of our children at the very centre of all we do. We are passionate about shaping our children into life-long learners who are keen to explore the world around them through our gospel values of joy, love and friendship.
Mr. A.S Wilson, Headteacher

Yr 4 Class Assembly
Year 4 led a beautiful assembly on the importance of advent and how we can prepare for Christmas. It was great to be reminded of the joy of this special season and to hear about different countries traditions.
Brentwood Cathedral Christmas Concert
Our School Choir attended Brentwood Cathedral to join with other local Catholic Schools to celebrate the nativity. The children sang beautifully and it was wonderful to hear the Cathedral full of their voices.
Reception Christmas Postbox Visit
Reception have been busy making their own Christmas cards for their families and were very excited to be able to go to our local post-box and post them! As well as being a great bit of Christmas fun, it is also part of the Reception curriculum to learn about the world around them and their local area. We hope you enjoy receiving your child’s card this Christmas!
Yr 3 Stone Age Art
Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age in history and in their Art lessons we have focused on prehistoric art. The children have enjoyed creating their own charcoal drawings in the style of stone age people and, although messy, they really enjoyed the charcoal sketching!
Yr 4 Design and Technology: Sewing
Year 4 designed and made their own book covers as part of our design and technology lessons. The children were learning the important skill of sewing – always useful in our daily lives and in protecting our favourite books!
La Salette Football Team
Our football team attended the Havering Football League second round. They were playing against 5 other teams as part of the annual league and scored some excellent goals and defended well.
African Drumming Workshop
The whole school enjoyed a very loud and exciting visit by the African Drumming Workshop. The children learnt about the importance that music plays in many cultures and practiced rhythm and recall songs. The feedback from every class was that the experience was fantastic!
Young Writers
Last summer Year 5 took part in a Young Writers Competition. The theme was mini monster tales and our school submitted a number of entries. We were recently contacted and are delighted to share that a number of our (now Year 6) children have had their stories chosen and published! A terrific achievement!
