A CHRISTIAN WAY OF LIFE
All pupils follow a course of Religious Education, which is designed to enhance their faith journey. Our pupils are encouraged to take an active part in assemblies and liturgies. On a daily basis each form group begins by praying together.
All pupils in Year 9 spend a day on retreat outside college and there are opportunities for other groups to go on retreat throughout the year.
On Holy Days of Obligation, Mass is always celebrated in college at the start of the day. This is in addition to our weekly lunchtime Mass.
Mission Statement
We are a Roman Catholic school providing for the children and young people in our care, an excellence of education rooted in and sustained by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.
Values Statement
We believe that:
All are made in the image and likeness of God.
All people are unique and of equal worth.
A person’s worth cannot be measured but their successes should be celebrated.
Each and every one of us is born for greatness; born to become the loving person God intended us to be.
All need help and support in their journey of faith.
Prayer and worship nourishes our relationship with God and each other.
People grow through relationships that affirm, support, respect, trust and show not only tolerance but also forgiveness and reconciliation.
Human flourishing occurs in community and not in isolation; all have responsibilities to themselves and to others.
Strong working relationships between pupils, teachers and parents/carers helps to promote the welfare of individuals in community.
Our gifts, talents and abilities are God given and should be used for the benefit of all.
All have a contribution to make to our community and their differences enrich it.
The whole person, body, mind and spirit should be educated.
Learning should challenge so that potential is fulfilled and talents developed.
Every child has the opportunity and right to learn.
Everyone has the right to feel safe in school.
Working with young people is more than a job – it is a vocation of service and a privilege.
Our Business and Enterprise Specialism helps prepare young people for their vocation, and/or their future working lives.
