Catholic Life of the School
Our religion influences our whole way of life and consequently this permeates every part of school life. Parents are the first educators of their child in the ways of the Faith and the school welcomes the support and co-operation of parents in our teaching of the Catholic Faith.
We follow 'The Way, the Truth and the Life' religious education programme as promoted by the Diocese of Leeds. Our religious teaching is planned into topics on a four-year cycle. Prayers are said at the beginning and end of the school day and at lunch time. Assemblies and other occasions for praising God in word and song are an important part of our school life and we invite parents, grandparents and friends to join us.
We have strong links with our Parish Church, St. Joseph’s, and Father Stephen visits the children in school regularly, as well as to celebrate Mass and share special assemblies at which everyone is welcome. Classes pair up and take it in turns to attend Mass on a weekly basis. On Holy Days we join the parishioners at Mass in the Parish church or we have Mass in school.
Please keep us in your prayers as we support your children in their Religious Education. Any questions you may have, please ask your child’s class teacher or speak to Mrs Delahay (Catholic Life of the School) or Mrs Keith, our RE leader.
