Mission Statement:

“We act justly, love tenderly and recognise God in our lives.”

Faith and Love

At Saint Augustine’s, we want our young people to act justly, love tenderly and recognise God in their lives. Working with families, we will educate children in accordance with the principles and teachings of the Catholic church.

Our faith is nourished through the Eucharist and we want everyone at Saint Augustine’s to experience the joy of the Gospel in their journey through school and beyond. We will foster in all members of our community a love of God and a love of others as Jesus taught us.

Care and Support

We believe that every person is made and loved by God. This is why we respect each other, value human dignity and consider the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable.

We want our pupils to be safe, happy and successful at school. We will provide an environment that inspires, encourages and supports their development through nurturing their gifts and talents and will instil in them the importance of the common good and the stewardship of creation.

Ambition and Success

We aim to provide pupils with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to be successful at school and in later life.

We will work to fulfil the potential of every member of our school by providing an education that values the whole person and promotes personal and spiritual growth.

Together we will send out our young people to make a difference in our community and in the wider world.
