Values and vision

St Benedict’s R.C. High School wants to provide all students with a high quality education, where they can reach their full potential across the curriculum. The secondary school wishes for students to develop intellectually and socially during their time learning and offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities for them to get involved in and gain new experience outside the classroom. The Christian faith is at the core of the school’s ethos and it promotes the gospel values, including tolerance, respect for others and co-operation, on a daily basis. Students at the school are nurtured to become active and responsible citizens who will go on to contribute positively to the community throughout their future lives.
