Aims & Vision

Our Vision  

What we are is God's gift to us.

What we become is our gift to God.

At STM, we see each child as a unique person with a God-given individual identity. We are highly aspirational and ambitious for all.

As a DOWAT, school, we are part of a broader vision:

 To achieve excellent in the service of the Gospel, to build a better world.

Our Mission

For every child in our care to be guided by the person and teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and be equipped with the character, learning power and knowledge necessary to live a fulfilling life.

We are aware that each child has one opportunity to achieve their potential. We pledge to work tirelessly to achieve our aim of quality and excellence in all that we do. We seek to work in partnership with parents and provide the best environment for pupils to thrive as they start the process of discovering who they are, along with their mission in life. We nurture and support our pupils to become informed, articulate and empowered. In this way we honour God and serve our children and families.

Pupil-Friendly Mission statement: We follow Jesus as we learn, play and pray together.

Our Aims  

• To live our Catholic faith by promoting the dignity, self-esteem and full development of each person in recognition that we are made in God’s image and uniquely loved by God.
• To offer a rich, diverse, challenging and progressive curriculum so that every child can flourish and become informed, articulate and empowered.
• To  promote positive learning behaviours within an inclusive learning environment.  
• To foster a growth mindset, respect for learning and consideration for all.
• To celebrate uniqueness, encouraging and enabling each child to reach their potential.
•  To provide a curriculum that introduces pupils to the essential knowledge that they need to be educated citizens, by introducing them to the best that has been thought and said helping to support an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.
