Policies

Our school has a number of both school specific and trust wide policies/procedures. For the benefit of all parents/carers and students, we publish both statutory and non-statutory documents. We continually review all school and trust wide policies to ensure continued compliance.

Where a trust policy supersedes a school policy, we publish that specific policy under the trust wide section to eliminate any duplication and confusion.

Policies and procedures are available to download from the three coloured tabs below.

As we begin a new school year, the whole community came together to reflect on our Mission - Living, Loving, Learning - Christ at the Centre - and what it means to live this out each day.
At the heart of our school community are the OLQM Values and Characteristics, rooted in our Catholic faith and brought to life through Catholic Social Teaching.
The morning started with a Stay and Pray and parents and members of our community joined each year group in creative prayer and music.
