Ethos & Values

"Together with Christ everyone achieves more"

As a Voluntary Aided Catholic school we have very close links with St Mary and St Benedict Church and the Archdiocese of Birmingham. The Children follow the Archdiocese religious education program ‘Learning and Growing as the people of God’. Acts of Catholic worship are held daily through regular assemblies and liturgies, and through morning, lunchtime and hometime prayer. Children attend Mass at St Mary and St Benedict Church on a regular basis and the church is integral to the children’s learning at our school. Children can prepare for their Holy Communion and Confirmation as part of their Religious Education provision.
