Our mission statement
As a school community, our mission is at the heart of everything we do every day. This mission acts as a common bond between children, staff and the wider community. It is underpinned by the key scripture ‘God created human beings, making them to be like himself.’ Genesis 1:27-29
Pupils know, live out and celebrate that they are special and made in the image and likeness of God.
Called to Serve
At St Wilfrid’s school we are called to serve others and follow the Gospel Values.
We are inspired to do this by the words of Matthew 25, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you do for one of the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me.’
We respond to local and national initiatives, as well as raising money and awareness of our class charities. Our Mini Vinnies support us to ‘turn our concern into action.’
Catholic Social Teaching
‘What are we called to stand up for?’
At St Wilfrid’s, we believe that our Catholic Life is underpinned by principles that we have chosen rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. There are seven guiding principles and we have chosen to focus on the following set:
- Dignity
- Community and Participation
- Creation
- Solidarity and Peace
- Option for the poor
- Dignity of workers
On Mondays, we emphasise these principles during ‘Sing and Pray’ and link them to hymns, scripture and acts of charity. Our key scripture focus is Matthew 25, ‘Truly I tell you , whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
This call to serve is supported by the Mini Vinnies, the Chaplaincy team and all children in school.
