Vision and Values

St John of Beverley Catholic Primary School is a school for the whole community. Our mission is to be witnesses to the Gospel and bring Christ to all we meet.

We know that parents are the first and best educators of the child. We believe that we are called to support them in their God given task. When we welcome the child, we welcome the whole family.

We strive to keep Christ at the centre of our lives in school by living out Gospel values of courage, compassion, peace and love. We welcome everyone who wishes to benefit from our special ethos, whether they are Catholic, of other faiths or of no faith background.

Everyone in our school is valued and encouraged to achieve human wholeness – spiritually, morally, emotionally, and academically in a happy, secure environment.

We affirm and value each member of our school community, and we are committed to the pursuit of excellence. 

Catholic Life

The word ‘Catholic’ means ‘universal’. St John of Beverley school is an inclusive school where every member of the community, both past and present is valued. As soon as a family enters our gates, they are welcomed into our school family. We seek to offer a first-class education, ongoing pastoral support and genuine love and care for every member of our school community. Gospel values are at the centre of everything we do in school.
