Our school ethos is the foundation of everything we do - shaping our culture, guiding our decisions, and inspiring our community. It reflects who we are, what we stand for, and the kind of environment we strive to create for every child, every day.

This ethos was thoughtfully developed through a collaborative process involving pupil, parent, staff, and governor surveys; pupil and parent focus groups; dedicated staff development sessions; and guidance from the Catholic Schools' Trustee Service. Together, these voices helped shape a shared vision and set of values that truly represent our school community.

At the heart of our ethos is our Vision:

‘A welcoming and nurturing community, where every child is guided by faith, feels a true sense of belonging, grows with confidence, flourishes through engaging teaching, and develops a lifelong love of learning’.

Our Values reflect what we believe in and how we live each day:

• Child-Centred – placing children at the heart of all we do.
• Healthy Relationships – fostering trust, respect, and emotional wellbeing.
• Inclusive – ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued.
• Lifelong Learners – encouraging perseverance, growth, and celebration of success.
• Devoted to Kindness & Compassion – creating a caring and empathetic environment.

Our Mission is to be a community where faith guides us, belonging strengthens us, and every child is supported to grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity. Through strong relationships and engaging teaching, we help children flourish and reach their full potential.

And our Motto captures the essence of our commitment:

Every Child Matters, Every Moment Counts

Together, these elements form a living ethos — one that is felt in our classrooms, our playgrounds, and our relationships. It is a promise to our children, families, and staff that we will continue to grow as a community rooted in faith, compassion, and excellence.
