With Jesus in our hearts,
we nurture each individual to reach their full potential.
We aspire for every member of our school family:
To learn and grow in a happy and safe place.
To believe in themselves and be proud of who they are.
To treat each other with respect, love and acceptance.
With Jesus in our hearts, we can reach our full potential.
Our school life is centred around our Catholic virtues:
Our virtues influence our approach to everything we do and our attitude towards others. Every member of our school community holds these virtues with the utmost importance. These virtues should be visible in our work with others, at playtimes, in the classroom and within our community. They are steeped in gospel teaching and reflect the kind of person Jesus was and the person he wants us to be.
You can find more information about our values on the "Values" tab of the website.
As a Catholic school, it is important that we foster a sense of community and develop our connection with God. We aspire for our children to know, understand, and love God. As such, collective worship is an important part of our ethos, aims, and relationships. Collective worships allows us to develop closer as a community and increase our connection with God and can only strengthen our faith.

Fr John Augustus Tolton
Fr John Augustus Tolton was the first Black priest in the United States. Originially born into slavery, he was rejected from every North American Seminary he applied to before being ordained in Rome in 1886. He met resistance during his years as a Black Catholic priest, but, overtime, his following grew. He eventually gave Mass at the Colored Catholic Congress in Washington D.C. He maintained a prominent profile within the Catholic Church before his death. He is currently in the process of becoming beatified.
Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth Ann Seton was a Catholic religious sister and educator in the United States. She founded the country's parochial system. She also founded the country's first American congregation of religious sisters, the Sisters of Charity. Numerous congregations can trace their origins back to the Sisters of Charity. In 1952, a miracle involving the healing of 4-year-old girl from leukaemia was attributed to Seton after a nun sought Seton's help. The miracle was a factor in the beatification of Seton and Seton was beatified by Pope John XXIII on March 17th, 1963. She was canonized on the 14th of September, 1975 by Pope Paul VI.
