CATHOLIC LIFE

Catholic Life of our School

Our Catholic faith is central to all that we do at Christ the King Catholic Primary School and worship is an integral part of our school life.  It inspires our mission of 'Making a difference by inspiring a love of life and learning for all.  We build strong foundations within God's loving hands', directs our work of teaching and learning and offers us a vision for the goal of human life.

We recognise that the purpose of education is to develop the full potential of all young people, leading to their life-long activities being guided by the Spirit and presence of Christ, in the service of God and of others.  Each one of us has been created with a desire to know and love.  We believe the ultimate happiness of our young people at Christ the King Catholic Primary School is found in knowing and loving God.  We are an open community, concerned with the education of the whole person.  We also work in partnership with home, the school and the parish.

We aim for every child to develop a personal and unique relationship with God.  For it is our relationship with God which grows our values, motivation, aspirations and the moral imperatives that inform our choices and actions.  When pupils join our school they become part of our CTK family.  Every day starts with a prayer, we give thanks before lunch and we end the day with a prayer.  We believe that Christ is at the centre of all we do and therefore we offer each child a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum of the highest standard to meet their spiritual, emotional, moral, intellectual and physical needs and to prepare them for the responsibilities of adult life.

We welcome every young person - Catholic and non-Catholic - to share in this mission.
