-
To make the faith life of the school inform and effect work in all areas of the curriculum
-
To be a 'family', embracing home and parish, with an awareness of its responsibilities to both local and worldwide communities
-
To establish a whole curriculum which will balance the highest academic standards with the life skills and critical awareness necessary to enable all students to reach their full potential and to respond to the needs of society
Saint John Houghton Catholic School is a voluntary aided 11 - 16 mixed comprehensive school in the Kirk Hallam district of Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
