Who are we

Our aim is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment in which every child matters and in which our children can learn and grow with Jesus as their example. We want our pupils to: Develop lively, enquiring minds with the ability to question and argue rationally. Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to participate as citizens in a rapidly changing world. Appreciate human achievement by study and knowledge of language and literature, mathematics, art, music, drama, science, technology and physical pursuits and to experience their own sense of achievement in these areas. Understand the world in which they live and the need for co-operation between individuals, groups and nations Display responsibility and exercise judgement. Realise that the school is a caring, supportive learning environment, where there is equal opportunity, regardless of sex, race, age, culture or disadvantage.

Cultural Education Challenge Commitment

Our school is taking on the Cultural Education Challenge. This means that our learning journey takes us to places where we can create, compose, perform, visit, experience, participate, know, understand and review great art and culture. Along the way, we meet inspiring artists and cultural experts that help us explore our own and others’ inventiveness. Together we inspire each other to be creative, courageous and curious.
