Ethos
Our Vision
Our vision is rooted in the words of Jesus: “Love one another as I have loved you.”
This guiding principle shapes every aspect of our school community, where love, respect, and compassion are at the heart of all we do. We are committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and high-achieving environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
Motto and Mission
Our school motto is “Love one another as I have loved you.”
Through prayer and worship pupils are inspired to set their sights high and strive for excellence in every element of their school life. As they move around the school pupils are constantly reminded, through art, statues, icons and artefacts, of their responsibilities to care for and respect each other so that God’s love shines out through them.
