We are a happy and friendly school where staff, parents, governors and children work well together so that pupils can make good progress and learn to love learning.

We aim to develop each child’s potential through the provision of high quality teaching within a safe and secure learning environment.

Our mission is to:

• provide an excellent education, within a loving, caring community, based on the life and teachings of Christ and traditions of the Church;
• ensure that each individual, as a reflection of Christ, is enabled to reach his or her full potential;
• help children to look to Our Lord for guidance and direction in their lives;
• ensure that the Christian Gospel message supports and sustains everything that happens in the school;
• ensure that the Catholic Christian faith, which is taught explicitly in the classroom, can take root in the hearts and minds of all our children.

In harmony with this, the School Council (pupil group) has agreed that…

“We aim to grow a school environment that is richly stimulating, where we feel safe and respected. We aim to put in place the building blocks that allow all pupils to reach their full potential. We value differences, where everyone’s opinion counts, and life-long learners are made. We are hard workers and try our best to learn the ways of the Lord.”

Also, we aim to extend the solid partnerships that exist between the school, the parents/carers, the community, and others. We always put children’s needs first.

Our mission is to provide an excellent education, within a loving, caring community, based on the life and teachings of Christ and traditions of the Church, in which each individual, as a reflection of Christ, is enabled to reach his or her full potential.

We hope to help children to look to Our Lord for guidance and direction in their lives. The Christian Gospel message supports and sustains everything which happens in the school so that the Catholic Christian faith, which is taught explicitly in the classroom can take root in the hearts and minds of all our children.

THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL

Our aim is to provide an education for each child, which is suited to her age, ability, aptitude and needs so that she is encouraged and helped to reach his/her full potential.

The school also provides an experience of a living Catholic Christian Community, and in this way plays its part in the entry of the children into the full life of the Church and enables Christian values to develop, preparing them for society in general.

We try to encourage each child to:

• Grow as an independent learner
• Grow as a collaborative learner, able to share and work and play with others
• Grow as a reflective learner.

Parents are the first educators of their children. St. Francis Catholic Primary School aims to support and work in partnership with parents in helping their children grow in the faith.

The Governors see the child as being at the heart of the education process and believe that the school’s curriculum must relate directly to each child’s needs as well as the teacher’s skills, the resources and facilities available. Each child needs to be helped to learn and to progress at her own pace, whilst being fully stretched. The child’s development as a responsible social being is considered just as important as the growth of academic excellence. Ability comes in a variety of forms and this school strives to recognise these and reward talents. Every effort is made to help and support those children who have special educational needs.
