As a Catholic school, we play a key role in the faith formation of every child. A pupil's experience of the Catholic life of the school will undoubtedly influence their faith as an adult and so it is important we offer an experience that is truly outstanding.

From the moment your child joins St Wilfrid's, they will become active members of a Catholic community.

St Wilfrid’s Mission Statement states: ‘We strive to follow Christ’s example to always do our best’

We celebrate our faith not only during RE lessons and Collective Worship - Christ is at the centre of everything that we do.

We embrace and champion British Values and strive to live our lives through the example of Christ and through embracing Gospel Values and Virtues

Visitors to our school comment upon the ‘Welcoming ethos...’ and have told us that, ‘As soon as they arrive it feels like a place where they would like to be.’

As members of St Wilfrid's School, our pupils understand that they are called to a life of service and they have a commitment to this - they participate in all aspects of Catholic Life with enthusiasm and, not only this, take responsibility for shaping activities with a religious character too.
