Vision and Values

Our Trust Mission Statement “Aspire not to have more, but to be more”, is alive in our schools. It is central to everything we do and our ethos is founded upon it in our daily school lives both pupils and staff who bear witness to it. 

We strive to be a community of resilience and compassion.  We endeavour to live our lives like Jesus, being an example to others.  To this end, our pupils are encouraged and supported to live out their faith by treating others kindly and supporting those less fortunate than themselves locally, nationally and internationally.

Our curriculum and policy are also formulated in the light of our mission statement.

Each child is valued as unique and is treated with dignity.  All in our community are treated with respect, each is a valued member and our ambition for our pupils is boundless.


We want our pupils to be excellent citizens who can contribute to society.  We encourage and support our community’s faith formation.  We encourage our children to aspire for excellence in all things, be excellent learners and to have the confidence to access challenges whilst never losing sight of the gospel values we strive to live by.
