ETHOS:

As a school community it is our aim to provide a safe, happy and challenging environment where the dignity and worth of each individual is nurtured and valued.

The Governors and staff are committed to promoting an ethos which reflects the Christian teaching and values of the Catholic faith throughout the school. The vital role which Religious Education plays in the life of the school is visible in the emphasis on caring at the heart of school life. It is also apparent by the high level of respect which children are encouraged to show towards each other and those adults with whom they come in contact with.

ETI Inspection Report – January 2013

The quality of the arrangements for Pastoral Care in the school is outstanding.  There is a highly inclusive and caring family ethos that builds effectively the children’s sense of worth as individuals and as contributing members of the school and the local community.
