Mission Statement, Aims & Values
at St John’s Catholic Infant School

“Today we want to keep dreaming. We celebrate all the opportunities which enable us, not to lose the hope of a better world with greater possibilities. … I know that one of the dreams of your parents and teachers, and all those who help them ... is that you can grow up and be happy.”
Words of POPE FRANCIS

St John’s Catholic Infant School is a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all so that all members of the school can live and work together in a supportive way. We promote an environment where everyone feels happy, safe, and secure and is very much rooted in our School Mission Phrase: “Loving, Learning and Laughter Together With God” and our Mission Statement is lived out every day.

“ …We will offer every child - whatever their individual characteristics – the chance to achieve their full potential, feel secure and enjoy growing up” 
Extract from School Mission Statement

Our Christian School Values are embedded into the heart of the school:
"The fruits of the Holy Spirit are: Love, Peace, Faithfulness, Joy, Goodness, Gentleness, Patience, Self-Control and Kindness"  (Galatians 5, 22-23)

We are committed to giving all of our children every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards. All will ensure that this is an educationally inclusive school, where the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every child, matters. We will provide an inclusive curriculum which will meet the needs of all our children, including those with disabilities, special educational needs, and different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Learning diversity will be recognised and planned for. Any barriers to learning and participation will be challenged and removed. All children will be provided with equality of opportunity and our parents will be fully involved in the education of their children.

 “When we all come together to educate our children, we will be one step closer to creating a world of good.”
