Inspired by Christ, Working Together, Achieving Our Best

Our Aims

• Develop an ethos where each adult and child is seen as a valued individual, and where personal relationships are a reflection of God’s love and forgiveness.

• Help our children to know and understand the beliefs, values, attitudes and practice of Catholics, by helping them to develop their own relationship with God, through prayer, in a worshipping community, and also to give them an understanding and acceptance of other denominations and faiths.

• Provide every child with their entitlement to Religious Education and the National Curriculum in order to develop their gifts and talents intellectually, creatively and physically.

• Provide an education for all, acknowledging that the society within which we live is enriched by the ethnic diversity, culture and faith of all its citizens.

• Foster an awareness of personal responsibility for the environment and all God’s creation.

• Promote social justice and equality, by showing concern for all members of society through understanding, sharing, tolerance, self-esteem and respect.

• Enhance links between home, school and parish and encourage closer relationships with the wider community.
