Ethos & Values

"Inspired by Christ, Working Together, Achieving Our Best"

Share God’s love with everyone Make thoughtful choices Ask for help when we really need it Respect others, our environment and ourselves Take responsibility for our thoughts, our words and our actions

As a Catholic school, spirituality is central to our identity. We nurture children’s relationship with God through prayer, worship, and reflection. Pupils are encouraged to explore their own beliefs and appreciate the beliefs of others. Regular opportunities for collective worship, class liturgies, and participation in Mass allow children to develop a strong spiritual foundation rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
