Celebrating Diversity
Our vision for our school: A dynamic, inclusive school; rooted in its Catholic values and respect for all people; a safe place of successful, enjoyable and challenging learning.
"I like this school because it teaches about including everyone."
“So God created us in His own image, in the image of God He created all of us”
When we created our Mission Statement, “Diversity” was one of the five key words identified by pupils, parents, staff and governors as describing our school family.
Here are some small examples of how we ensure that we celebrate the diversity of our community. There are also links to show children that our differences are nothing when we consider what makes us the same.
