Departments

At St Gerard’s School, our departments are designed to meet the diverse needs of our students, supporting their growth at every stage of their educational journey.

Our departments include Early Years, Key Stages 1 to 5, Rainbows and Outreach. Each department focuses on a specific stage of development, from nurturing early learning and foundational skills to fostering independence, employability, and lifelong learning.
