As a Catholic School, we believe the teaching and practice of the Catholic faith is very important. As well as being explicitly taught during lessons, it is practised regularly and lived out in all aspects of school life through our words and actions.
We are a diverse community, welcoming those of all faiths and none. We consider this a strength of the school, embracing tolerance, respect, compassion and acceptance, while teaching our children how to live in a multi-faith, multicultural society.
Our message for all is the same; we are guided by Jesus in all that we do, we are one school, one community, one world. The atmosphere at school reflects this, with a calm and caring environment in which children can learn effectively and feel happy, safe and valued.
We believe that every child is unique and by working together we can help your child to grow spiritually and habitually live out Gospel values.
Thank you to Fr Joe and some members of Year 5 who led us in our Advent Reconciliation Service. We thought about how we would show God’s love to others during this season and be ready to encounter the love of Jesus at Christmas. @OLOLCatholicMAT@BishopPMcKinney
