Mission Statement and Values

Our Mission Statement

We recognise that as children of God, all pupils at St. Philip’s deserve the highest possible standards of teaching and learning.

We seek, through daily worship, to support each other on our journeys of faith, to develop our awareness of the needs of the wider community and to proclaim and celebrate the Good News of God’s love for all.

We strive to create a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment, rooted in Gospel values, where all can grow and flourish.

We work to establish strong links with all those responsible for the welfare and education of our children including parents and carers, our Parish, the local community and partner education and welfare agencies.

We aim to foster a sense of personal vocation and sense of belonging as well as a spirit of awe and wonder as our children discover and learn more about themselves and the world around them.

Our Aims

We strive to create a school environment where all children feel safe.
