Character Education Overview
As a Catholic school, we strongly value the development of the whole child. We know that good examination results are important for future success. However, we strive to provide a fully rounded education where our children become great citizens who can function effectively in life in modern Britain.
Spiritual Development
The spiritual development of our pupils is at the heart of all that we do as a Catholic school. Our Mission Statement is to develop a Love of God, Love of People, Love of Learning and Love of Life. Pupils and Staff regardless of their particular religious faith, are encouraged to foster their relationship with God and to develop their spiritual life with a genuine spirit of freedom and commitment. This enables them to be enriched as human beings and to be excellent persons in every sense of the word
