Our Ethos
The Governors and staff are strongly committed to building and strengthening the Catholic ethos of our school. Underlying our teaching and our relationships are the Gospel Values of honesty and humility, justice and mercy. Our aim, within this context, is that all members of our community show respect and care for one another. We place a great emphasis on home, school and parish links.
The school strives to build on the foundations of faith started from the home and seeks to provide an environment where beliefs and values of the Catholic faith are taught, explained, developed and nurtured. A place where each child believes in their own potential, in an environment where they can succeed and achieve.
Our Values
In order to achieve this ethos within our school and the wider community that we serve, there are a number of values and principles which guide our actions in school.
First and foremost are the values that are at the heart of the Gospels:
• Love and solidarity
• Faithfulness and Integrity
• Dignity and Compassion
• Humility and Gentleness
• Truth and Justice
• Forgiveness and Mercy
• Purity and Holiness
• Tolerance and Peace
• Service and Sacrifice
It is clear to see that these are also supportive of the values of the modern British Society in which we live:
• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those of different
