As God's children, we touch the lives of others through our thoughts, words and actions. 

Intent

As a Catholic school, we are all called to put Christ at the centre of our lives and be stewards of creation. Through our Mission statement, ‘As God's children, we touch the lives of others through our thoughts, words and actions.’ we aim to encourage children to come to know Him through their experiences and interactions with others.

At St Wulstan's and St Edmund's we believe everything we do is to enable us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and through Him we seek to grow as a caring Catholic community in faith and love; knowledge and understanding; aspiration and independence.

As a Catholic primary school, we work within an inclusive, caring environment, always promoting Gospel values and ensuring that the teachings of Jesus Christ permeate throughout our school curriculum. We aim to equip our children with a feeling of self- worth, a respectful attitude towards others, an excitement for learning about their faith and an enthusiasm to share their faith with others when they leave our school. We prepare children with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to enable them to make informed choices about their future, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Through their learning experiences in school, we aim to foster the sense of ‘togetherness’ in our children by showing them we are part of a global community.  We will teach the Catholic faith as our core faith, but will also open children to the understanding that we respect and acknowledge other worlds faiths alongside the beliefs of our own.

With the Gospel and ‘Laudato Si’ as our inspiration, the children develop an understanding of their role in caring for our common home and caring for one another. The purpose of our RE curriculum is to ensure that children will learn about the mission of Christ, through rigorous study and immersion in scripture. Through our curriculum, the children learn how Christ showed tolerance, compassion, justice, love and forgiveness to those most in need and are encouraged to actively live out these values in their own lives.

We aim to help our children grow through;

• Placing scripture joyfully at the heart of our Prayer and Liturgy
• Within the perspective of the Gospel, engaging and responding to the challenge of global current affairs
• Considering their responsibilities as Christians in a critical way
• To develop an understanding of their faith in order to become compassionate followers of Christ.
