Our School: Mission Statement

Holy Rood is proud to be a Catholic school, where Christ is at the heart of our community.

Working in close partnership with the home and parish, we share and celebrate our faith, while respecting and accepting those from other traditions and cultures.

We acknowledge each persons uniqueness and aim to provide a happy Christian environment where everyone can thrive.

We are committed to delivering a broad and balanced education, where each child can become the best they can be. We seek to nurture self-esteem in everyone and develop a sense of responsibility for ourselves and others.

We strive for excellence in all we do.

In order to fulfil our mission statement, we will endeavour with God's help to achieve our aims :

To promote a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith. To nurture a living and loving relationship with the God who loves us
To develop a sense of respect and responsibility for themselves, their families, their community and the wider world
To provide a curriculum that prepares young people for a rapidly changing world and to become life-long learners
To set high expectations for achievement and behaviour and to celebrate the talents of all
To celebrate in a Christ centred school a sense of awe and wonder
