Catholic Life of the School

Catholic Life

The Gospel Values, drawn from the Beatitudes, are central to life at St George's. They can be seen clearly in the way that we treat each other and the importance that we place on strong, caring relationships. High expectations of, and aspirations for, each other are vital in ensuring that everyone in our school community becomes the absolute best that they can be. As a Catholic school, we aim for everyone to reach their true potential, not only academically, but also spiritually, socially and emotionally.

All that happens in St George’s Primary School is formed by our faith. Our aims and relationships, our curriculum, pastoral care and behaviour policy all have the potential to speak of God’s loving care for each individual.

The children’s spiritual development is seen as fundamental and is the foundation of our school. Religious Education is not just a subject but part of everyday life.

The assemblies and school Masses are important occasions where the children may experience shared prayer and worship and encounter the presence of God.

Different classes take it in turns to read and lead prayers, preparing for these occasions with enthusiasm.
