I will leave the rest to our Catholic Schools’ Inspectorate report from 2024.
The school mission statement expresses: ‘In the light of God, we shine on our own, but we shine brighter together.’ This is nurtured and lived out in all the school does for the pupils to flourish. One staff member said: “I’m so proud of the belief our school has in every pupil. No barrier is too great to overcome, no child too difficult to work with, nobody is forgotten, nobody is left behind.”
Come and see us.
We will be delighted to talk more about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead something very special.
