Ethos and Values

At St Mary’s Catholic High School, our pupils experience academic excellence, holistic education, and religious formation that is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the rich traditions of the Catholic faith. Our mission is to ensure that each and every one of our pupils has the opportunity to recognise and fulfil their God-given potential, allowing them to ‘Live, love, and learn in the light of Christ’.

We endeavour to enable all pupils to build their spiritual life, and intellectual and moral capacity to grow into successful young adults who act as living saints within their communities. We educate our young people to see the world through the eyes of Christ, challenging them and supporting them to act for justice, and to live a life of service to others. We strive to support our pupils in becoming living saints. 

We are committed to fostering a sense of community, service, and compassion, empowering our students to grow into respectful, responsible individuals who are witnesses to their faith in contributing positively to society.
