St Walburga's Catholic Primary School
At St Walburga's we celebrate that we are all members of God's loving family. We do our best to follow Jesus by putting others first. Our school is a happy and safe place where we learn, have fun together, do well and achieve our full potential.
Aims:

To help pupils acquire intellectual skills and apply them at levels commensurate with their ability
To strive to develop children’s initiative, independence and sense of responsibility.
To encourage pupils to have respect for others and to help the community.
To prepare pupils for the demands of a rapidly changing society with due regard for equality and opportunity.
To provide a climate in which enquiring minds are encouraged to question, investigate and in which creativity can flourish.
To develop good relationships within and beyond the school and recognise the importance of partnership and communication.
To develop a positive attitude towards education as a continuing process.
All staff and governors will endeavour to fulfil these aims by:
