Welcome from the Headteacher

Living, loving, learning – Christ at the Centre

 

Dear Parents, Carers and Prospective Parents

I am very pleased to welcome you to our website, where you can gain an insight into our wonderful School.  We are rightly proud of our School Family where all children and adults are encouraged to grow and develop to their full potential.

Our Vision is central to everything we do and is inclusive of all the children and adults in our faith community. Our vision statement is our roadmap in ensuring we offer an outstanding Catholic education to all those in our care. We are proud of our curriculum and strive to meet challenging academic standards for all of our children.

Our school mission is Living, Loving, Learning – Christ at the Centre. By this, we mean that through servant leadership, we invite everyone to come and meet Christ in our school. We believe that we meet Christ most deeply in those who are the most vulnerable and can show Christ to others in all that we do.

We feel proud that this makes us a very special community, which we hope is evident in all of our actions towards others.

Please do contact us if you wish to find out more, or have any specific questions.  One of the team will be happy to respond to you.  I look forward to meeting you.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Sophie Adams,
Headteacher.

 

“Lovely staff that are always so welcoming to the children each morning, with a very caring and approachable attitude.  I am never in any doubt that my child will be looked after in a loving environment.” 

“Parents talk about their children flourishing in this nurturing environment.” OFSTED, February 2024

“Pupils are…active citizens and are extremely well prepared for life in modern Britain.” OFSTED, February 2024

“The school has created a curriculum that is ambitious. It is designed to support the
school mission, ‘Living, Loving, Learning – Christ at the centre’ [and] goes beyond
academic knowledge and incorporates pupils’ excellent personal development. Pupils
demonstrate the school’s key characteristics and qualities, […] Pupils live this out in their daily school life.” OFSTED, February 2024

“I’m not a Catholic.  I’m not from a Catholic family.  But the Christian values that are so strong in the School make this a special place for any child to learn.”  Parent, Year 4″

In R.E., the reception children have been learning about the sign of the cross. We practiced signing the cross on our bodies then made our own creation on the cross. We were also introduced to how other cultures make the sign of the cross and what they say. ...

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.
The children then reflected further on our Mission and their thoughts, hopes and reflections were shared together. We thought about how each of us can put our faith into action, following in the footsteps of Jesus.
Every child and member of the staff team added their fingerprint to the Mission Trees as a promise to try their best each day and to live out the Mission in all that we do.
Our Mission isn’t simply something we talk about, it is something we live. 🙏 ❤ ✝

Last week in their science lesson, Year 2 St John headed outside to become plant detectives, exploring our school grounds to identify different wild plants and investigate where they grow.

The children enjoyed recording their discoveries and deciding whether the plants they found were weeds or not.
