We encourage all pupils and students to reflect deeply
upon the meaning of life and to examine critically, rather
than automatically accept, the values of the secular culture
in which we live.
As a Christian community we believe that
life is a beautiful gift, every person is uniquely valuable, that
our talents are given to us to be nurtured not only for our
own enrichment but for the common good. There are many
opportunities through the week to encounter the Christian
call to faith, hope and love, not least in our weekly gathering
in the Cathedral in which we contemplate the Bible and
hear a homily applying its message to today. Pupils of all
denominations and faiths are welcomed; everyone benefits
from being part of a school with a strong set of values
which can help form young people’s own world views as
they venture forth into adulthood. We want them to find,
through a sense of awe and wonder at the world they
study, through an attitude of thankfulness and appreciation,
a strong sense of self-worth and of respect for others.
We want each to discover their unique calling, in order
to make a positive difference to the world they live in.
“
Teach me my God and King, in all things
thee to see, And what I do in anything,
to do it as for thee
George Herbert
