As part of this partnership, we work together to share good practice; staff expertise and to further strengthen the provision and new opportunities for our children.

The life of the school is centred upon the mission statement:

‘We share in Christ’s life so He can guide our thoughts, words and actions.’

As a Catholic school we pride ourselves on the positive ethos we create; each child is recognised and respected and his/her contribution is valued and rewarded.  To support our school aims we have a strong spiritual life celebrated in prayer, liturgy and through the weekly celebration of Mass.

Our children are extremely well behaved and with the support of the close partnership between home and school, achieve high standards.

Awards

Silver ECO Award

Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a simple framework to help make sustainability an integral part of school life. The aim is to bring about behaviour change in young people and those connected to them so that good habits learned in schools are followed through into homes and communities.

Our children are the driving force behind Eco-Schools – they form and lead our Eco-Committee and help to carry out audits to assess our environmental performance. In conjunction with the rest of the school and the wider community, the children decide the environmental themes they want to address and how they’re going to do it.

Holy Cross has currently achieved the Bronze and Silver awards. We are now working towards the Green Flag award.

Silver Aware: Rights Respecting Schools

At Holy Cross Catholic Primary School we respect all children's rights and ensure we teach children about their rights. We have a Rights Respecting Steering Group who meet regularly to discuss current issues and ideas to develop the schools' understanding of their rights further. We hope to get the Gold Award next year!
