St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School

At St Vincent’s we recognise the dignity of every person. We love and look after each other because we are brothers and sisters. Each person is unique and irreplaceable. Everyone matters.

We value the people in our school, parish and the local community. We live as a family united by the love of Christ, touching the lives of those we meet, showing him to others through our love for one another. Everyone feels that they belong.

We walk together as people of peace, one family, one world. Parents feel appreciated, part of our community, keen to be involved in the life of the school, supporting our aims for learning and behaviour. Staff and parents are able to talk openly, honestly and with respect to each other.

We use our gifts and our voices to serve those who need us most.  We support the children care about other people; cherish their diversity and refuse to accept injustice, always striving to use their voice to make a difference in the world.

Everyone’s work is valued. We are attentive to each other and compassionate towards our brothers and sisters. The children have many opportunities for choice. We recognise their unique qualities, praising and encouraging them to reach out for greatness.

We are stewards of God’s creation, delighting in and caring for our beautiful world.  We take responsibility for our actions. The children learn never to give up. They are intentional in their efforts to protect the earth and overcome the challenges of living in the modern world.

We help each other to make the right choices, sharing and giving, knowing God wants everyone to be happy. We foster resilience, supporting each other to cope with any negative experience life may impose.  We nurture our children’s abilities, their curiosity and thirst for learning.
