Our school follows the curriculum strategy - Learning and Growing as the People of God - provided by the Archdiocese of Birmingham for teaching RE in a Catholic primary school. 

Our aim is to support all our pupils on their journey of faith.
We do this through:

• The teachings of the Jesuit virtues each half term
• Providing lots of opportunities for children to pray
• Vocational awareness
• Sacramental preparation in Y3 and Y6
• Outstanding RE lessons
• Collective Worship
• Catholic Life: charity and community projects

 
 "Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love; it is like giving life." 
​Pope Francis
