Values and Aspirations

PASTORAL CARE | CARE AND RESPECT

‘Cura personalis’ (care for the individual) is a basic characteristic of Jesuit Education. Our curriculum is centred on the person, rather than the material to be covered and, as such, it is our role to support each child in fulfilling their potential and developing at a pace suited to their individual ability and personality.

We provide an attentive care and knowledge of children as individuals which allows them to flourish and provides support and encouragement when life at home or at school is difficult.

We practice personal development through training of character and will, looking to instil selflessness and concern for others, developing a sense of freedom that respects others and accepts responsibility.

The school implements a fair system of discipline and promotes self-discipline in pupils through application to personal study and recognising the human dignity of others.

In partnership with parents, we aim to create an educational community that places people at its heart, encouraging love and respect for all.
