 Welcome  Us as a Catholic School  Priorities  Mission Statement  New Curriculum

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)1 Corinthians 12:12-27

 We are a Catholic school- what does this mean to us?  What is Catholic education?

 Ever child is a child of God.  We are all made in the image and likeness of God.  Everything we do is influenced and underpinned by the Gospel values. (love, faith, hope, truth, joy, prayer, mission, justice, peace, mercy, community)  Christ is at the centre of everything we do.  Witness  Word  Watch

 Raise quality of teaching and learning  Develop use of assessment data  Develop questioning  Develop feedback and marking  Improve leadership and management  Targets for staff are challenging  Development of middle leadership  Develop use of data for all middle leaders

 High expectations  Feedback and Marking  Differentiation and challenge  Development role of middle leadership

St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School Our Mission As a Catholic School we believe we are all children of Christ and together we create a loving Christian community underpinned by common Gospel values. We will:  Educate all children so they reach their full potential through a memorable and exciting curriculum that challenges and inspires them.  Have high expectations for learning and attitudes so that all children strive for excellence in everything they do.  Nurture spiritual and moral development so that children act out the Christ in themselves and see the Christ in others and develop a deep and confident relationship with God.  Empower children so they become independent learners and thinkers so that they will make a difference.

We will do this as one family valuing the vital contribution of the school, home and parish in ensuring that our children receive the high standard of education they deserve. Our mission can be summarised as: Inspire Challenge Empower So through Christ, we can make a difference.
