Our school lies in the heart of Harrogate on the edge of the beautiful North Yorkshire Dales. St Robert’s serves the two parishes of Our Lady Immaculate and St Robert and St Aelred of Rievaulx.

Our vision for St Robert's is for all our learners to learn and grow in Christ’s love, living out the gospel values in their daily lives. The caring Catholic ethos of the school develops pupils to become confident, successful individuals who want to make a positive contribution to the world around them. The dedicated and committed staff team work together to develop the children’s skills and instil Christian values to enable them to make the right choices and aspire to
achieve their full potential.

Our school is a vibrant and diverse community with children of many nationalities and faiths. We have over 23 different languages spoken at home by children in our school. Children enjoy celebrating the Catholic Life of the school, taking part in Assemblies, Acts of Worship and school Masses.

The school joined the Bishop Wheeler Catholic Academy Trust in 2021. The Bishop Wheeler Catholic Academy Trust is a group of schools serving communities across North and West Yorkshire. There are thirteen schools, two secondaries and eleven primaries, that work together to educate more than 4,900 pupils. Its aim is to fulfil the mission of working together as a true family of schools to offer the best possible high-quality Catholic education, enabling the spiritual, moral, intellectual and personal development and well-being of all the pupils, to help sustain high-quality Catholic education for families within our area.
