The new mission statement results from work undertaken by the Governors, staff, parents and students. Through a variety of forums led mainly by Catherine our Chaplain and myself the statement evolved. Can I thank everyone who contributed an idea or even a word because not only am I pleased that it is so succinct but it expresses the essence of our work. The mission statement will be displayed around the school reminding us all what we are here to do, why we do it and what we stand for.

St Catherine’s aims to:

• Be a vibrant Catholic Christian community where there is mutual love and respect.

• Offer opportunities for everyone on their unique journey to discover their talents, their potential and to realise their aspirations.

• Encourage its learners to make a positive contribution to society by living out our Gospel values.

• Celebrate and empower the women of the future.

Our Faith, Our Future
