Every person is of equal and inestimable value and each child will be included in all curriculum activities, except where some physical or other disability prevents this. Diversity is celebrated so that no child feels they are 'other'.

Fundamental Values Statement

All schools are required to actively promote the fundamental values which define British society, the values associated with democracy, the rule of law, individual livery, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. As a Catholic school, we strongly support and foster universal values, virtues and ethics that shape our children's character and moral perspective. Gospel values permeate every aspect of our daily life in school as set out in our Mission Statement.
