Holy Ghost Catholic Life of the School
Welcome to Holy Ghost Catholic Primary School. We believe that a Catholic education develops the full potential of all young people, leading to their life-long activities being guided by the Spirit and presence of Christ, in the service of God and of others.
The role of a Catholic school is to help everyone in the school community to discover the true value and dignity of each and every human being. As stated in our mission statement, our learning is ‘a joyful celebration of God’s creation and a lasting source of radiance and wonder.’ We strive for our pupils to discover a sense of wonder and pride for their faith.
In keeping with our mission statement, we aim to work alongside parents to bring children to a deeper understanding of the truths of their Catholic faith. Parents are the first educators of their child in faith and a strong home-school link is fundamental in supporting the school in its mission. Together, we provide support for the faith community and helping to form a Christian conscience.
Through explicit teaching about Jesus and the Church, and the development of prayer and worship in school, we provide daily experiences where children live the gospel values; have respect for the opinions and beliefs of others and grow in their faith.
