Ethos

 

Our school promotes a Catholic ethos, and while we warmly welcome children of all faiths and beliefs and none, we take great pride in promoting our Catholic ethos to the full. The following description encapsulates on a practical level what our school ethos means to us:

“Our school aims to promote the full and harmonious development of all aspects of the pupil: intellectual, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual, including a living relationship with God and with other people. The school models and promotes a philosophy of life inspired by belief in God and in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our school provides religious education for our pupils in accordance with the doctrines, practices and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and promotes the formation of the pupils in the Catholic Faith.”

An aspect of a Post of Responsibility is directed towards the promotion of our school ethos, and many practices in the promotion of this ethos are evident throughout the school – school masses, altar in foyer of school, assemblies with religious themes, school choir partaking in  preparation and celebration of the Sacraments.
