St. Patrick’s School Rebuilding Programme
A new school building for the future of our Ryhope community.
Our exciting new school development
We successfully secured funding under the Department for Education’s School Rebuilding Programme for St. Patrick’s to be rebuilt.
In November 2025, plans were officially submitted for the building of our brand-new school. The development aims to create a welcoming, future-focused environment that continues St. Patrick’s 130-year tradition at the heart of the Ryhope community.
The new school is planned to open in Summer 2027, and we’ll keep families updated as plans progress.
