We see our school as the extension of the home; a place where children are not just taught, but where the teachers and children work, play and pray together. The ethos of the school is Catholic and in this atmosphere the spiritual, intellectual, social and physical growth of the children is fostered in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare encouraging pupils and staff to care for each other and the world around us and to pray and work for peace in our school, parish and the world.
