At St Elizabeth, our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. We aim to inspire and support every child on their journey of faith, learning, and personal growth. Here’s how we live out our mission and values each day:

Our Mission Statement

“Inspiring and achieving lifelong learning in a welcoming Catholic community.”

Our mission statement is more than just words—it is the foundation of our school life. You can see it displayed in our Reception entrance stairwell, on the front covers of our books, and in every lesson’s teaching slides. More importantly, it is lived out daily through our teaching, worship, and the way we support and care for one another.

Our School Saint: St. Elizabeth

St. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, is our school’s patron saint. She was a woman of great faith, kindness, and humility. She welcomed and supported her cousin, Mary, during her pregnancy with Jesus. Her story teaches us about trust in God and the importance of helping others.

We celebrate St. Elizabeth’s feast day on 5th November with special activities and reflections, helping our children learn more about her inspiring life.

House System: The Four Gospels

Our school houses are named after the four Gospels in the Bible:

• Matthew
• Mark
• Luke
• John

Each house encourages teamwork, faith, and positive values, with pupils earning points for good behaviour, kindness, and achievement.

Class Saints

Each class in our school is dedicated to a saint, serving as a role model for the children throughout the year. You can see our Class Saints in the display picture below

Catholic Social Teaching (CST)

As part of our Catholic education, we follow Catholic Social Teaching, which guides us to live out our faith by making the world a fairer and kinder place. We follow the Rooted in Love educational resource, developed in partnership with the Diocese of Westminster Education Service and funded by the ALF grant. 

Each half-term, we focus on one of the six CST themes:

1. Care of Creation – Looking after our world, God’s wonderful gift to us.
2. Preferential Option for the Poor – Putting those who need the most help first.
3. Solidarity and Peace – Standing with others, especially those in need.
4. Community and Participation – Working together to create a fair and loving community.
5. Dignity of Workers – Ensuring everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
6. Human Dignity – Every person is special because we are all made in God’s image.

Chaplaincy Team

Our KS2 Chaplaincy Team plays a key role in supporting the Catholic life of our school. This year, their mission includes:

• Taking a more active role in whole-school assemblies.
• Helping in our local community through acts of service.
• Supporting the prayer spaces around the school.

RE Home Learning

Twice a year, pupils take part in special Advent & Christmas and Lent & Easter homework activities, helping them to deepen their faith at home with their families.
