 Principles & Aims
All Saints Catholic School believes that the overriding principles that inform
the work of the whole school are to:
Lead children to responsible freedom, to enable expression of human
uniqueness;
Provide opportunities for pupils and staff to experience, express, celebrate
and live out our faith;
Provide a “setting in which the pupils can experience their dignity as
persons before they know its definition”.
We believe if each child is to achieve their true potential, there must be
close collaboration between home and school. Above all we strive to be a
happy and caring community that strives for excellence in all areas of life.
I look forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Wilson
