Worship

As a Catholic school, our ethos and curriculum places great emphasis on religious education, worship and respect. This is reflected through the recognition we are constantly receiving for the outstanding behaviour and supportive attitude of all our children.

Our children are encouraged to understand and respect a wide range of religious beliefs and backgrounds, and whilst all children are involved in the catholic ethos of the school, the religious beliefs of the individual are inclusively respected within the school community. Parents of non-catholic faiths actively contribute to building the understanding of the variety of religions as part of our curriculum.

The school shares its site with St Joan of Arc Catholic Parish Church, and services with the children are regularly held through the term, and also attended by parents. It is also supported and works with a wide number of local parishes and diocese. The links and information relating to our main catholic family partners are on the right.
