Vision and Values

Together in God’s loving family, we believe, we learn, we grow.

St Pius X Catholic Primary School educates pupils to: 

• Learn the Catholic faith and follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. 
• Grow spiritually, academically and socially.

Everything we do at St Pius X is underpinned by our six school values. Based on the Beatitudes, they have been linked with inspiring role models who embody the following values:

Integrity 

"The time is always right, to do what is right." 

- Martin Luther King

Fairness

"Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground." 

- Rosa Parks

Peace

"I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls." 

- Malala Yousafzai

Kindness 

"Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." 

- Mother Teresa

Forgiveness

"Loving God means serving our neighbour without reserve and trying to forgive without limits." 

- Pope Francis

Through our curriculum, we want pupils to:

• understand their responsibilities to our local community and the wider, international community
• develop respect and understanding of our multi-cultural community
• develop lively, inquisitive minds to encourage lifelong learning
• develop as confident learners with the ability to question and debate 
• develop as reflective learners: striving for excellence in everything they do
• develop resilience: adopting a growth mindset to meet challenges without fear of failure
• develop their reciprocity skills: building effective partnerships for learning
• develop their resourcefulness: capitalising on resources.
