Our Love Charter

Our Behaviour Charter was reviewed and updated in June 2021 following almost 18 months of Covid 19 sweeping the world. Things at home and school were very different for everyone. When a group of pupils were asked about the most important aspect of the "crisis" they said unanimously LOVE. They then went onto explore how this could be translated into a Behaviour Charter that would be shared with our whole school community.  This is embedded into all aspects of our lives at school and at home.  We all agree the world would be the one God desires for us if everyone signed up to our Behaviour Charter.
