Our school promotes a prayerful and loving environment where children learn and grow in faith. We prioritize prayer, collective worship, and regular Masses to celebrate feast days. Internet safety, reading, and homework are also important aspects of our curriculum. We promote positive behavior and reward hard work through certificates. Our uniform policy ensures a sense of belonging and organization. Communication is facilitated through link books, and we encourage parents to stay updated through letters and our website.
