We will be courageous and inspire each other to excellence, shining in the light of Christ and making a positive impact in our world.

Our Mission Statement

I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.    (John 8:12)

We will inspire each other by:

• Living in the Roman Catholic faith; offering opportunities for prayer, worship and liturgy; creating a strong friendship between home, school, parish, diocese and the wider community.
• Recognising and celebrating the unique and God given gifts and talents of all members of our school family.
• Listening to and valuing each other’s contributions.
• Celebrating diversity and respecting different beliefs, cultures and ways of life.
• Sharing our gifts and talents with all.
• Laughing together and developing an authentic love of learning.

We will achieve excellence by:

• Learning with and from one another; so creating a school environment which nurtures the whole child and enables each one of us to realise their full potential.
• Setting high expectations for our spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development.
• Providing a motivating, challenging learning experience, that encourages a life long desire to learn.
• Promoting the highest standard of teaching which engages all learners.
• Challenging everyone to become independent learners with enquiring minds and positive attitudes, determination and resilience.
• Nurturing a strong learning partnership between home, school, parish and our wider communities.

We will shine in the light of Christ by:                        

• Loving one another; valuing all members of the school community -pupils, parents, governors, teaching and support staff; showing respect, kindness and consideration to all.
• Following in the footsteps of Christ, in all that we think, say and do, so that our lives are a living witness to the Gospel and walking authentically in our faith journey.
• Praying and worshiping together, enriching our relationship with God.
• Ensuring that compassion and forgiveness are strong, forever present in all that we do.
• Growing in our awareness of God’s unchanging love for each of us.
