All our pupils will have the opportunity to experience the living God. Pupils will develop a strong sense of service and recognize that this is Faith in action. Through an understanding of the virtues and by following Jesus’ example, they will develop a moral compass to guide them through life.

By living out our gospel values, our school will be a safe, inclusive and welcoming place that celebrates diversity and ensures every individual feels valued. Students will thrive both academically and personally, prepared to face life’s challenges and opportunities with confidence and resilience. We prioritise the social, emotional and mental wellbeing of our entire community – ensuring everyone feels connected, supported and heard.

Our aspirational curriculum aims to achieve a challenging and inspiring learning experience that sparks awe and wonder, encouraging students to think deeply and critically. Through joyful, collaborative discussions and quality teaching, we empower students to develop powerful knowledge, fostering independence and social mobility. By nurturing curiosity and resilience, we prepare learners to thrive in a dynamic world, ensuring they leave with the confidence and skills to make a meaningful impact.

All staff will promote the vision and values of the school. They will be empowered to develop themselves and the students in their care, inspired by the Catholic virtues.

All governors will have the courage to hold staff and leaders to account with compassionate vigour, to ensure the best outcomes for our students and wider community.
