Ethos and Vision

Our School Ethos and Values

At St Michael’s RC Primary School our mission is to develop each member of our school community so that everyone can reach their full potential in the teachings of Christ and with the values from the Gospel. We, the staff, children and governors fully commit to living out the Gospel values fully embracing our school mission statement

Our School Mission Statement

‘Finding Christ in each other.’

‘Catholic Education is above all a question of helping to form Christ in the lives of others.’
Pope John Paul II

 

We work together to promote Catholic values based on the teachings of Christ and to bring all members of the school community – staff, children, parents and governors – closer to God through the daily practice of those values in all areas of school activity and through the school curriculum.

Our pupils’ backgrounds, our culture and our climate for learning provide the following drivers that underpin all areas of our curriculum and our vision:

  • Catholic values – which helps pupils grow spiritually and give them values for life outside of school
  • Historic Environment – which helps pupils to understand and appreciate their locality which facilitates their relationship to the wider world
  • Resilience – which helps pupils grow as learners
  • Initiative – which helps pupils to grow as independent learners, not dependent on adults to learn
  • Subject knowledge and skills – which help pupils develop their academic skills and give them knowledge for life
  • Tolerance – respecting and valuing the beliefs, values, choices and opinions of others
