Catholic Life - our school values and ethos

At St Agnes’, everything that we do is informed by our Gospel values and the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are a loving and welcoming community , where the presence of God is reflected in our daily routine. Through the pattern of daily prayer, the celebration of the sacraments of the Church, works of charity, and through a striving for justice in all it does, our school seeks to be a catechetical community in which the content of the life of faith is shared.

School Values and Ethos at St Agnes’:

We have 4 values that we focus on throughout the school year:

• Respect
• Equality
• Honesty
• Perseverance

These values underpin the ethos of the behaviour expectations that all staff have of the children at St Agnes’. Our special green star values stickers celebrate children displaying the values and each half term, every class teacher choose a ‘Value Champion’ for someone in their class who really lived out the particular value in their behaviour.

Mission Statement

The family of St Agnes, loves, learns and grows together as followers of Jesus.

As well as our school values, the school mission statement is a constant guide for all of our school community. Each day, we try to be like Jesus by following in His footsteps and this is something we echo to the children daily to remind them of why we take certain actions. The behaviour, communication, choices and interactions we have daily aim to be like Jesus’ choices.
