The work of leaders and staff is guided by shared values, centred on dignity and respect for the individual. These values provide a unifying thread for all aspects of school life.’ Whilst it is not a requirement to be Catholic to apply for this position, applicants are expected to be sympathetic and supportive of the Catholic ethos.
