3. To work in partnership with the home and parish in order to uphold the moral teaching, faith and traditions of the
Catholic Church whilst promoting respect for different beliefs and cultures.
4. To encourage active citizenship by:
Providing opportunities for our pupils to take on responsibilities and exercise choices;
Enhancing links with the community;
Providing opportunities for our pupils to be part of the decision making process.
