Spiritual and Pastoral life
St Catherine’s is a community of faith and of learners which is Catholic in character and tradition. The ethos and the spiritual, moral, social and cultural values held and developed within this school are grounded in the gospel of Christ and in the Roman Catholic tradition. Whilst not all members of this community share this faith or practice it in the same way or to the same degree, the school values their contribution. We also recognize that the school is located within the wider community of the Church and the world, with its variety of faiths, cultures and races. The primary responsibility of the school is expressed in its Mission Statement and Aims:
Everything we do is intended to promote the growth of individuals as persons to achieve their potential and to discover the purpose and meaning of life so that they might creatively and critically contribute to and shape the society of the future. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is therefore fundamental and integral to all educational provision, processes, experiences and relationships within the school in our concern for the development of each student as an individual and a learner.
