FULL MISSION STATEMENT
This is a Catholic school. All the members of the school community support the Christian ethos of the school and our faith is an integral part of our life and work. We seek to enjoy and explore the world around us and respond to God's wonderful creation in praise and thanksgiving. We want each child to know God as our loving Father and respond to him in love. We pray and work for people in the wider world.
Each member of the school community and everyone we meet is valued and respected. We try to follow Jesus in sharing with and caring for one another. We endeavour to act justly, to be peacemakers, to enable every member of the school community to be able to accept and give forgiveness. We create a safe and secure environment in which everyone can be happy, healthy and be able to work effectively, so that our children may achieve their full potential in all areas of the curriculum.
We endeavour to ensure as consistent an approach to behaviour as possible by all adults working with the child, including the parents. We try to be positive; praising those who are behaving appropriately so that children are helped to become sensitive to, and understand the effects of their actions on other people.
We follow the Church's year, foster an awareness of the sacramental life of the church and give great emphasis to personal, social and health education. We seek to give each child self esteem and enable them to make a positive contribution both to the school and a wider community, in which they can achieve economic and spiritual well being.
