Learning about the Wider World and Becoming Global Citizens

Through our learning about the wider world, we value and celebrate the rich diversity of the world God has created, including our own vibrant, multicultural, pluriingual school community and hometown. We take inspiration from the words and deeds of Pope Francis I in recognising our responsibilities to our fellow man regardless of creed, colour, nationality or language.

We take every opportunity to encourage pupils to share and take pride in their own cultural heritage whilst developing their intercultural understanding with enquiring, open minds, tolerance and respect, exemplifying the Gospel Values. Through prayer, we seek guidance in this work from our Patron Saints: St Joseph, a refugee in Egypt and St. Alban, Patron Saint of Refugees.
