Values and Vision

St Francis Xavier School is a church school that aims to inspire a love of god in each child, and shows a great level of pride in its students, who it considers to be fantastic ambassadors for the school.

While there are a lot of ways that the school shows its Christian faith, from its year group Eucharistic services, to its liturgies at Christmas, Easter and the end of the school year, St Francis Xavier is an educational environment that welcomes students of all other faiths and none to be part of its vibrant, friendly and supportive school community.
