Ethos & Values

“Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me.” (Luke 9: 48)

At St Luke’s we care, share and learn together.

St Luke’s aims to provide a safe, warm and supportive environment where all children can reach their full potential. We have created a community spirit that includes children, teachers and non-teaching staff, parents, governors and the local parish. Our school prides itself on developing our children into well rounded young people who are ready for the next stage of their lives. Jesus said “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” John 10:10 using our Catholic faith and modern British Values we have created a culture and belief that anything is possible and together we can achieve all that we desire.

Our Golden Rules

St. Luke’s Catholic Primary is committed to creating an environment where excellent
behaviour is at the heart of productive learning, and children feel safe and valued.
Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept
responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. Through our
values based on the Gospel, we aim for our children to become kind, compassionate,
responsible citizens.
