The Cartin Shackleton Award

To celebrate the uniqueness of our Catholic identity and Irish heritage, each year we mark the feast of St Patrick by presenting the Cartin Shackleton Award.

This award honours the Cartin Shackleton family, who were instrumental in the establishment of our school. Many people of Irish descent travelled to Haslingden following the famine and were determined that Catholic education should be available for their children. With great dedication and faith, members of the community worked together to establish what would become our school.

The Cartin Shackleton Award recognises children in Year 2 and Year 6 who truly live out our school motto:

“Our School, Our Family, Modelled on Christ.”

These pupils demonstrate kindness, respect, faith, and a commitment to living our values in all that they do, both within our school community and beyond.

We are very proud of all the children who have received this special award.
