Ethos and Mission Statement

At St Willibrord's RC Primary School, all that we do is rooted in our mission to 'Grow In God'. We believe that Religious Education should be at the foundation of all our teaching as we help our children to come closer to Jesus Christ. We aim to reflect the Gospel message that has been shared with us in our school daily and we aim to support this with our pupils, staff, parents and community to help in the development of our faith journey.


We believe that Religious Education is not only about formal, dedicated lesson times but is about our thoughts, words and actions in our daily lives. We wish for our Catholic values to shine through all that we do, all that we say, all that we think and all that we pray - asking ourselves 'What would Jesus do?' as we strive to 'Grow In God'.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to create a harmonious Catholic community where each child is helped to achieve their full potential as a valued individual.

We aim to achieve this by:

• Providing a broad and challenging curriculum enriched with the spiritual truths of our Faith.

• Teaching respect for self and others through the Catholic Faith.

• Furthering the children’s understanding of their own and other Faiths.

• Motivating children and teachers to do their best within a secure learning environment.

• Maintaining a high standard of discipline and behaviour in an atmosphere of openness and shared responsibility within the school community.

• Valuing a close relationship with parents, the first teachers of our children.
