Our Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of our school and with close links to the community. In doing so children learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
To support the teaching of Relationships and Health Education (RHE), parents and governors have approved the use of Ten Ten’s programme ‘Life to the Full’. This scheme of work is designed specifically for use in Catholic schools and is fully inclusive of all pupils and their families.
