It is essential to acknowledge that we have a Catholic identity in all our schools and that all of them are unique. We are a caring Trust, dedicated to academic excellence, and the spiritual and moral development of our pupils. Our sound principles ensure that our schools are learning environments that allow for the academic, physical and spiritual development of all pupils.

We offer a safe nurturing experience where there is an acceptance at all levels of the need to keep everyone safe and we understand the importance of positive behaviour.
