Mission Statement of the school

At St. Benedict’s we work in partnership with the parents and parish to develop our children’s awareness and appreciation of the Catholic faith.  We create a Christian environment where adults working with the children promote a deepening of the child’s spirituality and uniqueness in the family of God.  We seek to develop children to their full potential.

Religious education will be the foundation of the entire education process at St. Benedict’s school.  We aim to instil in each child a positive attitude to learning and a desire to face challenge with enjoyment.  We will nurture an attitude of respect towards all people and celebrate the uniqueness of the individual.  We aim to provide all children with a structured, progressive and stimulating programme of study that will foster independent learning.  A broad and balanced curriculum will provide the children with opportunities to develop skills for the 21st century.  Pupils will have time to appreciate the awe and wonder in God’s world.  All adults working with the children will be sensitive to the needs of the individual offering challenge or support where appropriate.  We will foster high expectations in work and behaviour.
