Mission Statement
Love, Care, Share…
At St. Ethelbert’s RCP we:
Love learning as friends;
Care for our community as neighbours;
Share our faith in Jesus as disciples.
We inspire a love of learning as friends through:
- Providing a broad, balanced, creative curriculum, underpinned by Gospel values; our curriculum is rich in content and both challenging and differentiated to allow each child to fulfil their potential
- Fostering a climate of encouragement and support, where children feel confident to take risks, be adventurous, display curiosity and develop independence
- Celebrating achievement
- Providing opportunities for our children to experience awe and wonder in God’s wonderful world
We show care for our community as neighbours through:
- Providing a safe, secure and welcoming environment, where pupils, staff, governors and parents share a sense of belonging
- Helping our children to be aware of their own and others’ feelings; to be open and generous towards each other and towards God’s creation
- Celebrating and valuing diversity, recognising that we are all made in God’s image and likeness
- Building positive relationships and a spirit of service between school, home, parish and the wider community so that we can all work together to secure good outcomes for our children and families
- Developing stewardship of God’s creation in our school, our local area and at a global level through charitable works and community involvement
- Providing a clear and consistent behaviour management framework, underpinned by reconciliation
We share our faith in Jesus through:
- Celebrating the Word of God in worship and liturgy, including passing on the traditions and teachings of the Catholic church
- Providing our children with adult examples of Christian witness so that they can be inspired and be led closer to God both now and in the future
- Acting charitably so as to help those in need at a local, national and global level
- Living the mission of the Church in all that we do in school
- Placing Religious Education at the core of our entire curriculum
