Catholic Life of the School

The Catholic Life of Our School

Our school has its own distinctive mission statement which expresses our shared sense of purpose:

“Learning to Love, Pray and Grow Together as a Community in the Light of Jesus Christ.”

Faith-Centred Community

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where every individual is valued. Our school community reflects the love of Christ, ensuring that all pupils, staff, and families feel a sense of belonging.

Spiritual Development

Prayer is integral to our daily life. We encourage our pupils to cultivate a personal relationship with God through regular prayer, reflection, and participation in the sacraments.

Service and Charity

Living out our faith means serving others. We engage in various charitable initiatives, encouraging pupils to understand the importance of giving back to the community and supporting those in need.

Respect for Diversity

Our school celebrates the diversity of our community, welcoming pupils from various cultural and belief backgrounds. We strive to create an environment where all can live and pray in fidelity to their commitments while fostering mutual respect and understanding.

Holistic Education

We believe in educating the whole child. Our curriculum is designed to promote not only academic excellence but also emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. We aim to develop independent learners who are aware of their personal skills and potential.

Living Our Mission

Our mission statement is not just words; it is a lived reality. Staff members embody the values of our Catholic identity, serving as positive role models for our pupils. We regularly revisit our mission to ensure it remains central to our school life, influencing our teaching, learning, and community interactions.

St Mary’s Church, Egremont

School services and masses are held at key points through the year and parents and families are invited to join us on a number of occasions. We enjoy involvement with our local parish of St Mary's and our Parish Priest as well as celebrating significant points with our local schools and churches. Our church is called St Mary's and our Parish Priest is Father Peter Groody, who plays an active role in our school.

Our school is part of a family of schools in the Diocese of Lancaster, led and governed by The Bishop of Lancaster, The Right Reverend Paul Swarbrick.
