Home, School and Parish Partnership

Religious Education is a fostering of each child’s relationship with God and their neighbour. This begins at Baptism and is continued at home as well as at Church and School. Parents are the first educators of their child and support the child with his/her first religious experiences. Our school works in partnership with parents and parish to enrich the lives of our pupils.

We communicate with parents regularly to notify parents of Masses and liturgies both in the school and the parish. Children receive the ‘Wednesday Word’ each week which is shared with their families. Therefore, families can come together to reflect and celebrate the Gospel teachings at home.

The children in our school support Parish events as well as fundraising for CAFOD, the Catholic Children’s Society, Advent and Lenten appeals as part of our work towards the Common Good. Our School comes together with the parish to celebrate Holy days of obligation and feast days. Our parish priest Fr Chinedu comes to school regularly to speak with our children, lead us in Mass and help us celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
