Ethos & Values
As a Catholic school, we are called to follow the example and teaching of Jesus. Our Mission Statement sets out our distinctive Catholic ethos and values. Our School Charter gives us guidance on how we can follow the Mission in our everyday lives. We also promote the teaching of Virtues, which encourage children to strive to do good in all that they do and give the best of themselves. Please see the following documents, which exemplify how we explicity teach our ethos and values with our whole school community.
