To promote the formation of the complete person based on the example and inspiration of Jesus Christ and to help the pupils develop a personal relationship with God in their journey through life. To ensure every child shares in an educational environment filled with love and concern – a community joining together to help create a better world.

Our school motto, chosen with the whole school community, is ‘With Christ we Achieve, Believe and Create.’

Achieve – To achieve our goals and celebrate our talents through determination and resilience.

Believe – Our faith in God teaches us to believe in ourselves and to respect others.

Create – To create a safe and happy learning community filled with meaningful friendships.
