Our School Philosophy
We would like to enable each child to live a full life and to realise his or her full potential as a unique individual, to develop socially through living and co-operating with others and to be prepared for further education, work and lifelong learning.
Mindful of the Catholic ethos of our school, we will endeavour to create an atmosphere conducive to the development of the child in all these ways and to retain a good home/school relationship in which parents, teachers, clergy and ancillary staff will all work as a team for the good of the children, the school and the wider community.
