Catholic Life

Section 48 Diocesan inspection June 2019:

“The extent to which pupils contribute to and benefit from the Catholic Life of the school is outstanding.

The pupils at St. Vincent’s know they are at the centre of the school’s mission and that all the adults in the school are determined to provide them with a Catholic education of the highest quality.

St Vincent’s is a good Catholic school where all pupils are valued as individuals, and equality is treasured. Pupils and adults show respect and kindness towards one another and relationships are excellent, living out the school motto, ‘Kindness is the key to all hearts’. Pupils feel safe and happy and know that adults care about them, want what is best for them and work hard to achieve this .

The chaplaincy team is a strength of the school. Acts of Collective Worship are varied and meaningful for pupils. Pupils are becoming very confident and knowledgeable in planning and leading Acts of Worship, and gain a great deal from the modelling provided by the adults in the school. Prayer is central to the life of the school. Dedicated adults have been working with pupils over a long period in craft clubs and preparation for receiving the sacraments.”
