Ethos & Values

"Let God’s love shine in our lives as we grow and learn together through living out the Gospel Values of: Faith, Hope, Love for ourselves, others and the world around us."

Faith Hope Love

The key areas of the distinctive nature of Catholic education are: the search for excellence, as an integral part of the spiritual quest; the uniqueness of the individual, made in God’s image and loved by him; the education of the whole person, based on the belief that the human and the divine are inseparable; the education of all, with the particular duty to care for the poor and disadvantaged; moral principles, put into practice within a Christian community. All aspects of school life are firmly rooted in Christian principles. We aim to ensure that pupils are given a secure, well-ordered school which will allow for their spiritual, emotional and intellectual growth. Our aim is to Develop “the education of the whole person which not only enhances the dignity of the individual, but in the long term promotes the common good in society and in the world -wide human community”.

Head Teacher's Message

A welcoming message from Headteacher Lindsey Ebsworth describing St Alban’s as a church school with a dynamic team and a commitment to a rich core curriculum, strong partnerships with parents and the community, and high regard for pastoral care; notes that Ofsted recognised outstanding personal development and good behaviour, with continued curriculum and leadership strengths.
