Our Catholic Mission
Our Mission Statement is for all our children, staff and families to 'Achieve in God's Love'
St Edward's Catholic Primary School is at the heart of a community, rooted in its core Gospel values. Our children, by their actions, grow in the image of God.
Our core Gospel values are:
Respect
Trust
Forgiveness
Achieve
Love
Kindness
(as voted for by parents, children, governors and staff in November 2017)
Our school rules are based on these values.
Children link these to the Gospels as well as to modern day role models.

Lord, we thank you for letting us have food to eat but let us remember the people that do not have as much as us and help us to be kind in our thoughts, words and deeds. Amen
