  • Collective Worship, prayer, assemblies and RE celebrations which show everyone as equal.
  • The parish and school working hand-in-hand.
  • The needs of learners being recognised, accepted and supported.
  • Good behaviour being expected of all members of the school community, where conflicts are resolved and forgiveness shown.
  • Everyone being accepted and respected as unique individuals, made in the image and likeness of God.
To instil a love of learning in a caring, Catholic environment which enables all to develop to their full potential, through:
  • High expectations of all.
  • A broad and rich curriculum which meets the needs of all learners.
  • All knowing how to improve.
  • Hard work and achievement being celebrated.
  • Monitoring of progress and learning.
  • A stimulating, safe and happy environment.
To enable all to grow as individuals, through:
  • Growing friendships, reaching out to new members of our community, being inclusive and welcoming to all.
  • Developing links with the parish and local communities, helping those less fortunate than ourselves in charity work.
  • Looking after God’s world and everyone in it, equally.
