\u00a0In St. Paul\u2019s we all strive to do our best.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We\u00a0want to ensure that our children are fully prepared for life in the 21st<\/sup> century.\u00a0 We encourage pupils to be ambitious in their achievements, confident in their abilities, responsible within their community and effective in their learning by promoting Gospel values and developing the talents of each individual.<\/p>\n

\"\"We are a Rights Respecting School with a strong commitment to meeting all individual needs of our learners.<\/p>\n

Through this commitment we aim to set the highest standards in all aspects of education for all the community.<\/p>\n

We recognise the importance of working closely with parents, parishes and the wider community in order to promote the best possible opportunities for all pupils. They are encouraged to reach their full potential as healthy individuals and to ensure that our school is recognised and valued within that Community. We strive to involve all our children in their own learning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our vision is based on shared values.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In St. Paul\u2019s our mission is to educate the whole person \u2013 making Jesus Christ known to all our children and helping them to live their lives according to His values, which are shown in His commandment:<\/p>\n

Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another\"\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By placing Christ at the centre of our school we enable our children to experience true happiness, wholeness and holiness.\u00a0 In St. Paul\u2019s we look to the Beatitudes for the values and attitudes which are expected for the Disciples of Christ:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nOur Core Values<\/h3>\n
