Vision, Values and Ethos

Aspire, Believe, Achieve:
Together in Christ

The Rosary Catholic Primary School is a culturally diverse and multilingual community founded upon the teachings of Christ; a community which has love, compassion and reconciliation at its heart. We are committed to fostering a spiritual, thriving, community which nurtures each person’s relationship with God and in which all feel valued and equipped to fulfil their potential; a community in which people of empathy, fairness and friendship can flourish.

At the core of our work lies a passion for harnessing each child’s curiosity for discovery and lifelong learning. From the early years until they are ready to take their place as confident, responsible members of society, we aim to develop independence, perseverance and resilience in all pupils. We do this in an environment that is stimulating, challenging and fun.

At The Rosary Catholic Primary School, we believe that our learning journey is never complete and that learning from each other is an essential element of ours, and others’, success.
