We are a Catholic school within the Diocese of Westminster. Our mission is serving the local Catholic parish of St. Peter & St. Paul’s, is to offer Catholic education, spiritual and moral teaching to the children in our care. Religious education lies at the core of everything that we do. We devote 10% of curriculum time to the teaching of RE and follow the ‘Come and See scheme of work from Reception to Year 6. We also explore and express our faith through other subjects across the curriculum.
Collective acts of worship for the whole school take place three times a week and in individual classes on the remaining two days. Our parish priest is a regular visitor to the school and there are many occasions throughout the year when we celebrate Mass together as a whole school as well as our year group liturgies and masses.
We are very proud of our distinctive Catholic ethos which is underpinned by our mission statement:
- I have come so that they may have life, and have it to the full.’
- We place Christ at the center of all that we do and offer all things to God.
It is our aim at Mount Carmel to provide the opportunity for our children to safely experience a range of sporting activities for their fun and enjoyment. Through carefully planned PE and sports activities, we aim to ensure that all children are happy and enjoy PE, thus raising participation levels both in and out of school and therefore in turn, promoting healthy lifestyles. We strive to provide high-quality PE and sports teaching in both curriculum and extra-curricular clubs. We aim to ensure that within their level of ability all children can achieve and experience success, thereby enabling them to reach their full potential.
Our student council meets every Monday at 12:20 with Miss Collins. We are the voice of the children at Mount Carmel. We decide each week some topics we would like to address and talk about.
