At Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, we aim to nurture pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith, deepen their personal relationship with God, and develop their sense of belonging to the Church community. Through a systematic and comprehensive approach to learning about Scripture, liturgy, and moral teaching, our pupils are supported to grow spiritually, morally, and culturally.
Our curriculum is rooted in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, promoting dignity, solidarity, and the common good. Through this, we aspire to nurture children who show kindness, live with confidence, and strive for excellence in their faith and actions.
At Holy Cross, we are also committed to ensuring that every pupil leaves our school with a respectful and informed understanding of the beliefs, practices, and traditions of other faiths. We believe that nurturing curiosity, empathy, and tolerance helps our children grow into responsible citizens who can contribute positively to a diverse and multi-faith society.
By the time they leave Holy Cross, our pupils will:
- Develop a strong understanding of Catholic teachings, especially around social justice, care for creation, and the dignity of every person.
- Grow in confidence to discuss complex moral questions through the lens of faith, guided by Catholic Social Teaching.
- Show kindness and compassion to others, following the example of Jesus in serving and supporting those in need.
- Strive for excellence in their academic and personal lives, living out our school values and engaging positively with their communities, both locally and globally.
- Be prepared to live thoughtfully and peacefully in a multicultural, multi-faith society.
