“We are a Catholic Family Learning Together”
“We are a Catholic Family Learning Together”
Our school is a Catholic School which means that we have a special nature. Everything that we do in our school day, is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. This includes our curriculum teaching, our discipline and our family commitment to one another. We work as Jesus would ask us – as a kind, thoughtful, caring, hard working, supportive team of people who love one another and who are, as our school motto suggests, “Learning Together”. We share the Gospel qualities of tolerance, forgiveness, justice, peace, inclusion and equality for all. We aim to help our pupils to take their place in society as well educated, discerning Christians who can help to make the world a better place.
Our school badge has two emblems on it. One is a “chi rho” – which is an ancient symbol of Christ and the other is the Welsh dragon. These emblems tell our children that we are proud to be Welsh and that Jesus is at the heart of everything that we do.
Being a Catholic School, we teach the Catholic faith and we have to follow the guidelines of our Archdiocese, which tell us we are committed to teaching Religious Education for two and a half hours per week.
During that time, we follow a special scheme called the Here I am Programme. It is a life-faith programme and through three topics per term, we teach underlying themes. Pupils learn to relate their religious experiences to their everyday life. They are encouraged to reflect on scriptural passages, to learn about feasts and Christian people who have made a difference to the world, to write their own prayers, to pray together as a class family and to sing hymns. Lessons are upbeat and full of fun.
Each class has a wall display of one of the religious topics being studied and they have their quiet area where pupils can read from the class Bible and other religious stories.
Each term, parents receive a newsletter informing them of the topics being studied and any home tasks that need to be undertaken. We ask all parents (Catholic and non-Catholic) to take an active interest in our religious studies. It is a very important part of our school life and it really can be fun!
