AIMS Welcome Us as a Catholic School Priorities Mission Statement New Curriculum
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHERFor just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
WHY ARE WE HERE? We are a Catholic school- what does this
mean to us? What is Catholic education?
DISTINCTIVE NATURE OF A CATHOLIC SCHOOL Ever child is a child of God. We are all made in the image and
likeness of God. Everything we do is influenced and
underpinned by the Gospel values. (love, faith, hope, truth, joy, prayer, mission, justice, peace, mercy, community)

Our Mission
As a Catholic School we believe we are all children of Christ and together we create a loving Christian community underpinned by common Gospel values.
We will: Educate all children so they reach their full potential through
a memorable and exciting curriculum that challenges and inspires them.
Have high expectations for learning and attitudes so that all children strive for excellence in everything they do.
Nurture spiritual and moral development so that children act out the Christ in themselves and see the Christ in others and develop a deep and confident relationship with God.
Empower children so they become independent learners and thinkers so that they will make a difference.
We will do this as one family valuing the vital contribution of the school, home and parish in ensuring that our children receive the high standard of education they deserve. Our mission can be summarised as:
