"Together we can, with Christ by our side"
As a Catholic School Religious Education is at the heart of our ethos and we recognise Religious Education as a core subject, contributing to a broad and balanced curriculum. We follow The Way, The Truth and The Life (WTL) programme as the main resource for RE. The Diocese of Southwark guidelines include 10% of the timetable each week devoted to RE. Our aim is to foster caring and understanding, with a focus on Christianity while recognizing the value of a multi-faith community. Regular collective worship and strong parish links with visits from local priests are part of school life.
Executive Headteacher’s Welcome and Vision emphasizes the Federation's mission: 'Together we can, with Christ by our side', commitment to high-quality teaching, excellence, and developing moral and spiritual awareness. It highlights extensive grounds, a thriving forest area, a large playing field, forest zone, adventure playgrounds, and spaces where pupils grow their own vegetables and plants, reflecting a nurturing, diverse community and pride in providing an exceptional educational journey.
