From the St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Weymouth
Our mission is to be a community of outstanding schools in which our pupils flourish in safe, happy and stimulating environments and leave us with the knowledge and skills, personal qualities and aspirations, to make the world a better place, inspired by the Gospel. The Church insists on the highest standards of academic achievement in its schools, so that our young people leave us as 'agents of change' educated and caring people who have the qualifications, knowledge and skills they need to flourish as human beings and make the world a better place. We are committed to helping people who are less fortunate in particular because of our Teacher, Jesus Christ, and the good news he brought to the underprivileged. We are adamant that a child's early experiences need not dictate what they will become in life. Following the example of Pope Francis, we are dedicated to preserving the health of the planet, which serves as our shared home. Based on our core conviction in the dignity of every human being, we will create a culture of high expectations and aspirations in every one of our schools. We want all our pupils to flourish in safe, happy and enriching environments, taught and supported by adults who are skilled, motivated and committed to our shared vision and values. We will collaborate as a community driven by an excellence-focused vision, one Trust, and one family of schools. We pledge to strengthen our mission and raise the bar in order to give every kid in our care a top-notch Catholic education.
