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
