Mission Statement

JOURNEYING TOGETHER WITH CHRIST

Prayer, Worship, Liturgy and the Gospel message are central to our daily lives.

The value and importance of our Catholic faith is reflected in our attitudes, relationships and charitable responses.

Every person within our school community matters and has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and exceed their expectations. We aim to deliver a broad and rich curriculum, appropriate and accessible to all pupils.

We encourage respect for self and others by promoting positive attitudes and relationships within our school community.  As individuals we recognise each others gifts, needs and contributions. As a school we aim to develop a trusting and supportive environment in which everyone feels valued and appreciated.

By working closely with the home and parish we seek to prepare our pupils for their lives in the wider community. We help them develop as responsible and caring citizens, who are able to take ownership of their choices and actions in society as lifelong learners.

In a caring and sharing environment we offer friendship and welcome to all.

We seek to journey together with Christ as his disciples, learning from him how to live well.

THEMES:
