OUR SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

Quality Education with Catholic Christian Values.

To provide a Catholic Christian based education with God at the centre of all learning.

To create a strong, positive interaction between home, parish and school.

To recognise the value and worth of each individual child and member of staff; building on strengths and addressing weaknesses.

To provide challenge in the delivery of the National Curriculum, taking into account individual needs and abilities with an

emphasis on excellence. 

At St Cuthbert Mayne we value the diversity of the backgrounds of all pupils and families within our school and parish community and the wider community. We firmly believe that our school’s ethos and mission supports the spiritual, moral, social and cultural growth of our children and their understanding of British Values and the role they will play as active citizens in the future.

With Christ at the centre of all that we do here at St Cuthbert Mayne, and our belief in the dignity and worth of each individual made in the image and likeness of God, we are able to nurture our children on their journey through life. The learning experiences we provide enable children to grow into safe, caring, responsible and tolerant adults who will be able to make a positive contribution to British society and beyond.

We actively encourage our children to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and others in our school, parish, local community and the wider global society.

The Department for Education states that there is a need:

To create and enforce a clear and a rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental

British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs.

The Department for Education defines British Values as follows:

Respect for democracy and support or participation in the democratic process

Respect for the basis on which the law is made and applies in England
