"Let no one ever come to us without leaving feeling better and happier."
Catholic ethos permeates the school and curriculum. The site describes that a Catholic School prepares its pupils for the world of today and tomorrow, rooted in the Gospel and celebrating pupils' gifts and potential. It also states that Religious Education is not just one subject but the foundation of the entire educational process and should inspire and unify every aspect of school life, shaping the curriculum and offering living experience of faith in practice.
Welcome from Headteacher Mrs M Staffa emphasizes a calm, happy school where children are kept at the heart; high standards of respect, courtesy, hard work and achievement; a strong Catholic ethos and a creative, whole-child curriculum guided by staff and governors.
