    Welcome to our school. We give you an introduction to the life of our happy and successful school, which has been serving the Catholic community in Harrow and Brent for well over 50 years, providing a full range of academic courses for girls and boys of all abilities. We are firmly committed to our Mission Statement “Pro Deo - For God the Best and the Greatest”. Consequently, we have an unrelenting focus on raising standards in all aspects of school life (spiritual, moral, academic, and social) so that each student can develop their God-given talents to the full and be the best they can be.
    We take great care to make sure that students build on their prior attainment when they join us in year 7 and ensure that this process continues as they progress through the school into the Sixth Form (so that our girls and boys work to their full ability).
    There is also an enhanced provision for the Gifted and Talented and an extensive Extra-Curricular program. In short, we believe, a thriving institution and a real Catholic community with over 1000 girls and boys.
    We hope that we live this out in all that we do and say. Any mission statement needs to be a living, breathing document and ours has encouraged us to ask some important questions. In particular "what is our reason for existing?" and "what is our shared sense of purpose and identity?"
    As a Catholic school, we have a specific mission that goes beyond providing an outstanding education. As a faith-filled community, every student is invited to connect with the deeper call to be converted and as Catherine of Siena said to 'become all who God meant us to be.
    St. Gregory’s Catholic Science College aims to provide an education of the highest quality for all our pupils in all of the key stages. The curriculum is broad and balanced and develops pupils’ knowledge, understanding, skills, and talents so that they not only become successful learners but are fully prepared for their future lives.
    All our pupils follow the core subjects of the National Curriculum from years 7 – 9: English, Mathematics, Science, and Religious Education.
    Pupils also study foundation subjects in Art and Design, Citizenship, Computer Science, Design & Technology, French, Geography, History, Music, PSHE, Physical Education, and SRE.
    During Year 9, each pupil is supported in choosing a Key Stage 4 curriculum pathway that is most appropriate for their ability. Our pupils are carefully prepared for making their choice with appropriate advice.
    All our pupils must continue with a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stage 4 and in designing the Key Stage 4 curriculum we aim to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and also provide an inclusive curriculum for our pupils. Most pupils will have the opportunity to study at least eight or more GCSEs in Years 10 and 11.
    St Gregory’s has a strong academic reputation at Key Stage 5.
    We have high expectations of all our students in terms of their commitment to their studies and their self-motivation. We match this with a high level of support from tracking progress to intervention, mentoring, and supervised study sessions.
    As a Catholic secondary school, St Gregory’s promotes values such as "mutual understanding and respect" and equality between girls and boys supporting ideals such as democracy, respect, and tolerance for all races, cultures, faiths, and beliefs. This is lived out in the programs of School Assemblies, Religious Education, English, Geography, History, PSHE, and Citizenship classes. The following British Values are covered in the curriculum.
    Prayer and worship are central to the daily life of our school, through class prayer, assemblies, and staff prayer. The Gospel call to justice and service is made explicit in assemblies, RE lessons, and across the Curriculum. Students are given considerable time to be reflective about their own religious beliefs that inform their perspectives on life and their interest in and respect for different people’s faiths, feelings, and values, evidenced in the study of Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu faiths through KS3, KS4, and KS5.
    In both the RE and PSHE programs, students study other faiths and learn about empathy, tolerance, and understanding of people from different faith backgrounds.
    Students display a sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others, and the world around them. They have the opportunity to produce a faith journey every year to analyze how events and milestones have affected their faith. Students are encouraged to write and share their prayers in Form time throughout the year.
    Students recognize the difference between right and wrong and readily apply this to their own lives. Moral education permeates the entire curriculum and is mapped in departmental schemes of work. As result students are taught about the difference between right and wrong in all lessons. Students are encouraged to act out their lives under the Gospel values and are encouraged to forgive those who have done something wrong. Assemblies also provide an opportunity for students to reflect upon moral and ethical issues and to understand how their behavior and actions have consequences.
