Our Mission
Learn to love; love to learn
Our Mission is to provide a Catholic education based on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, in which the values of the Gospel underpin all aspects of school life. We insist on the highest standards of academic achievement 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 our mission and to raising standards in order to provide an excellent Catholic education for every child in our care. We work together as one Trust, one family of schools, a community inspired by a vision for excellence.
We aim to deliver our mission by:
Promoting our Core Gospel Values which underpin all aspects of school life
Promoting stewardship enabling our children to develop an understanding of the wider world and their role as global citizens
Providing opportunities for our children to be agents of change and to make a positive difference to the world in which they live
Balancing academic success with wider attributes & provides for learners broader development enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents
Promoting our Learning Values – resilience, responsibility, independence, creativity & collaboration
Supporting our children to develop their character and help them to keep physically and mentally healthy
Placing an uncompromising focus on the development and application of reading, writing and mathematics skills
Playing a major role in developing our children’s love and passion for learning
Celebrating equity and diversity supporting the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
Developing children as leaders by valuing children’s voices and individual contributions and offering a range of opportunities to develop their leadership skills

In the summer term 2020 staff at school were missing the children so much we thought we would create a little something to cheer everyone up whilst they were all learning at home. We had great fun making this and hope you enjoy it – St Margaret Clitherow Primary School’s – My Lighthouse.

GIFT Team
Our school GIFT (growing in faith together) team have been hard at work since they applied and were appointed to their positions. We came together and discussed various ideas as to how we could grow the faith in our school and community, creating an action plan for the next term. First on their list was to honour our mothers in some way as Mothering Sunday was approaching, they created flower posies and held a special celebration assembly, which was beautiful. Their second action was to create a prayer station outside the hall for all to access. The prayer station will be updated each month with a different theme, the children decided that this first month our prayers should go to the people of the Ukraine.
