They are polite and well-mannered and are a credit to the school. Our caring and dedicated team of staff understand the importance of valuing each child and ensuring they progress effectively, both academically and socially. We believe English Martyrs Catholic School offers a rich and varied environment within which all children will believe they can achieve and succeed in all their endeavors. We follow the National Curriculum in Key Stages 1 and 2, and the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in Nursery and Reception. In RE we are guided by the Religious Education Curriculum Directory for Catholic schools. Our curriculum includes the experiences and activities we provide to educate the whole child. It is designed to develop an enjoyment of and commitment to learning as a means of encouraging the best possible progress and the highest attainment for all pupils. It aims to develop pupils’ sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural heritage of our diverse society to enable them to think creatively and critically, to solve problems, and to grow into responsible citizens. The time allocated to the teaching of Religious Education is 10 percent of the total curriculum time. Staff is encouraged to avail of the training opportunities provided by the Diocese of Westminster to enhance their knowledge and understanding of Religious Education. Religious Education also happens through prayer, collective worship, a celebration of Mass, and hymn singing. We gather together for Liturgical prayer and Liturgical Dance. Parents are invited to attend all celebrations and services and share in the various religious experiences provided for children and families by the school. Every child has the right to access the same curriculum. The school is committed to the provision of specialist support for children with special needs and employs a dedicated Special Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCO). Meetings are held each term to check and review the needs of pupils in all classes. We receive specialist support from the Local Authority’s ‘Support for Learning Services’ who provide support teachers for pupils with specific learning needs. Children who do not speak English as their first language receive extra help from our English Additional Language co-ordinator and part-time specialist teacher. This EAL team provides language and other curriculum support for parents and pupils so that pupils have full access to the curriculum throughout KS1 and KS2. The School’s Learning Mentor is allocated to work with pupils so that they may achieve their full potential. Parents are always consulted if their child is to be referred to the School Psychologist or Learning Mentor. Parents are consulted to help identify children’s individual educational needs in line with the Disability Discrimination Act. The school ensures that any child who may have special needs is identified and provided with the correct program of work and support. Children who require special help are provided with Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) and may be referred to the School Psychologist or Support Teachers for further assessment. In English Martyrs School children are provided with an environment that allows them to participate in a range of activities that will benefit their physical wellbeing. Specialist teachers provide a variety of P.E. lessons and a range of after-school coaching sessions including gymnastics, games, dance, and football. Children develop an appreciation of the benefits of cooperation and teamwork and come to understand the advantages of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. Children are encouraged to participate in a range of sports activities during playtimes to further develop PE skills. View full school

We are therefore committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted in our care at all times.

The school is a vibrant, positive place that truly lives up to our vision that we ‘welcome and reach out to our diverse community in the Christian Spirit.’ Our children enjoy coming to school, are motivated by their successes, and become confident, responsible citizens ready for the next stage in their education.

St Mary's is a Catholic primary school in which everyone is valued as a member of God's family. Our school has existed on this site since 1861 and we are proud of its long tradition of high-quality Catholic education. St Mary’s is a one-and-a-half-form entry school admitting 45 children each year. The two Reception classes and the classes in Year 1 and Year 2 usually have 22 or 23 children in each. Throughout the rest of the school, the children are organized into classes of about 30. There are currently six classes in the Junior Department, covering Years 3 to 6 and forming what is known as Key Stage 2. Some of these classes have children from two age groups that work together. Throughout the school children are provided with additional help in English and other curriculum areas according to their individual needs. In Key Stage 2, we can provide children with invaluable additional help in mathematics by teaching them in smaller ability-based groups. We are confident that you will find our school a friendly and caring community everyone is committed to providing the best possible learning opportunities for each child, a place where good behavior and respect for others are highly valued, and where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential. St Mary's School is committed to providing the best possible education for all children and to developing each child's full potential. The teachings of Christ inform all our efforts and how we treat one another. We seek to provide an orderly, stimulating environment in which effort and personal success are rewarded, special gifts are catered for and needs are met. Following The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races, and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law. At St Mary’s we offer a range of groups to support children in addition to the work they are doing in class. These can be informal and determined by the class teacher for example if your child has found a particular concept difficult in class they may be taken for further support in this area. Some groups are run on a more formal and regular basis. These are led by a teaching assistant and may include help with speech and language, social skills, self-esteem, or an area of learning such as phonics. If your child is in a regular group, you will be informed by their class teacher. Occasionally, other children may also be invited to take part in an intervention group to support their peers by modeling good speaking and listening skills or modeling positive behavior strategies. As set out in our Inclusion Statement we aim to enable each child to reach his/her full potential. As a Catholic school, we aim to build a caring and supportive Christian community where each individual can grow in faith and understanding. We recognize that each child is a unique individual with his/her contribution to making to the life of the school. View full school

We are committed to the teaching and practice of the Roman Catholic Faith and believe all children are special and unique and loved by God. Our school prides itself on being a wonderful place to learn and we have a very special partnership with our parents and our parish community. We strive for academic and personal success and aim for every child to leave us prepared for the challenges of life - taking with them many happy memories. The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools to ensure that the most disadvantaged pupils receive targeted support. The Head Teacher and school leaders decide how to use the pupil premium. They are held accountable for the decisions they make. St.Malachy’s is a Roman Catholic Primary School provided by the Diocese of Salford and is maintained by Manchester Local Authority as a voluntary aided primary school. The school’s governing body is the admission authority and is responsible for taking decisions on applicants for admission. The Governing Body’s planned admission number is 30. All admissions for Reception to Year 6 are managed by the Governing Body. In-year admissions are those requests for a school place in any year group that are made outside the normal timescales, that is, after the beginning of the autumn term. If your child currently attends another school in the UK, you will need a transfer form to be signed by the Headteacher from your current school. We believe the primary school should be a safe and wonderful place where children want to be: where learning happens both within and outside of the classroom. Children will be encouraged to enjoy life whilst at school and discover their fascinations. Whatever their background they will learn how to shape their futures and develop their unique capacities and skills rooted in their interests. They will learn the literacy and numeracy skills needed for life and necessary to progress in their education. They will be encouraged to be curious and use thinking skills to innovate, be creative and problem solve. They will develop their first understandings of employment and entrepreneurship. Primary education should set up learners for life, with the knowledge and skills to be well-rounded individuals, mentally and physically healthy, with an appreciation for and a generosity toward the people, the world, and the universe around them. St Malachy’s School acknowledges that Religious Education is a lifelong process and recognizes that the primary years are significant in the lasting impression they make upon our children. We regard children’s entitlement to spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education as our primary objective at St Malachy’s. Our Catholic beliefs and values provide the context for all learning and school experiences. The ‘CARITAS in Action program is utilized to deliver the social teaching of the Catholic Church. There are opportunities for the children to plan and work collaboratively on fund-raising and charitable projects that directly benefit our parish and the local community. In addition to CARITAS In Action, there are also planned opportunities for ‘Big Questions’ about the purpose and meaning of life. ‘Big Questions’ are asked and discussed during each ‘Topic’ themed unit of work from the ‘Inspire Curriculum’ which is used to teach core and foundation subjects in line with the requirements of the New Curriculum. St Malachy’s School is committed to giving children the opportunity to learn in the outdoor environment. We believe that taking learning outside is good for promoting children’s self-esteem, wellbeing, behavior, cooperative learning, and problem-solving. St Malachy’s Pupil Chaplaincy team has 13 dedicated members and is led by Miss O’Brien. The children have a vital role to play in enhancing the Religious Life of our school. The children in years 3 and 4 are allowed to apply each year and are interviewed by Miss O’Brien and Sister Regina. The job of Pupil Chaplain has a very high profile in the school and some of the tasks these pupils carry out include welcoming new pupils and staff to our school, leading Masses and Liturgical events, co-planning, preparing, and delivering collective worship in classes throughout the school, leading ‘Faith in Action’ workshops, fundraising initiatives and developing the Catholic ethos of the school. The Pupil Chaplains also advise children on the Sacramental program and are excellent role models to others especially in how to live out our Mission Statement. The Chaplaincy Team meets every Wednesday to write, review and carry out the termly action plan. So far this year the team has increased donations to the Lalley center by holding a class competition, advertised for new members of the team, raised the profile of Advent by holding an advent assembly, and blessing the advent wreaths that are used in class. The team regularly plans and leads collective worship. Our Pupil Chaplains are easily identified in school by their special Chaplain jumpers. They work hard to promote our Catholic faith in school but they are also a wonderful link between St Malachy’s and other schools in our cluster. The Pupil Chaplains do some excellent work by reaching out to other Chaplaincy Teams. We host an annual Chaplaincy workshop event during Lent which is attended by Chaplaincy teams from St Matthews High School, Our Lady’s High School, Mount Carmel, St. Edmunds, St. Margaret Mary, St John Boscoe, St. Dunstans, and Christ the King.

St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School is highly regarded within the local community and by the London Borough of Brent who has placed it in their highest category of schools. We had a successful Ofsted in 2013 when the school was judged 'Outstanding in all areas of the inspection and St Joseph's is now a National Support School. Teaching each pupil to fully develop their talents and aptitudes, to be able to meet realistic expectations, and to expect demands to be made upon them. We believe that this is what parents want from the school and to do otherwise would be a waste of a child’s potential. The curriculum is a broad and balanced one taught within the Catholic ethos of the school. The curriculum is demanding, challenging and rigorous. Pupils will learn good habits of work, develop their intellectual, moral, and spiritual skills to emerge as well-educated, responsible, and Catholic citizens. Pupils are taught using a variety of methods including whole class teaching, group work, and on a one-to-one basis. Teachers are very conscious that every child matters and adapt their teaching methods accordingly. The school actively promotes the National Curriculum aims to foster independent learning. At St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School we strive to create a stimulating environment so that by learning, playing, and working together, we openly follow Christ’s teachings. We seek to offer every person the opportunity to be a unique and valued individual, sharing and developing belief in the teachings of Jesus through every day relationships and mutual respect in our dealings with one another. To achieve our mission: We stand on holy ground. We will always open our doors in welcome. We will always love and care for each other as Jesus taught us. We will always place the Word of God at the heart of our school. We will always be witnesses to our faith by following in the footsteps of Christ. St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School is a community where the spiritual, cultural, and personal worlds within which we live are harmonized to form the roots from which grow our values, motivation, aspirations, and the moral imperatives that inform our choices and actions as persons. When pupils join our school they become part of this community. Every day starts with an Act of Worship, we give thanks before lunch and we end the day with a prayer. We offer each child a broad, balanced, and relevant curriculum of the highest standard to meet their spiritual, emotional, moral, intellectual, and physical needs and to prepare them for the responsibilities of adult life. The program of Religious Education we follow is in line with the Catholic Directory as specified by the Bishops Conference of England and Wales. Religious Education is taught to all children in the school for two and a half hours per week and is considered central to the whole school curriculum. We follow key teachings from Catholic traditions that are taken from the RECD (Religious Education Curriculum Directory). Through this directory, the children are taught the basics of Catholic faith and morality, with constant reference to their own life experiences. We have excellent links with our parish church, The Shrine Of Our Lady Of Willesden, with the parish priest making weekly visits to the school as part of our pastoral program. The school attends mass at The Shrine Of Our Lady Of Willesden on special occasions including Christmas and St Joseph’s Feast Day. The parish priest also celebrates mass at the school throughout the year including the celebration service for those who have recently made their First Holy Communion. Teachers are committed to ensuring each pupil fully develops their knowledge, skills, and understanding, so that they can meet the high expectations set. Our challenging curriculum starts with building firm foundations in English and Mathematics which is taught within the Catholic ethos of the school. This means that pupils will find other areas of the curriculum more accessible and relevant. Prioritizing depth of knowledge in both English and Mathematics ensures academic success. We dedicate a significant proportion of the school's timetable to Reading, Writing, and Mathematics to promote a love of reading, to develop fluent communication, and to build confidence in mathematical skills. The curriculum is demanding, challenging and rigorous. Pupils will learn good habits of work, develop their intellectual, moral, and spiritual skills to emerge as well-educated, responsible, and Catholic citizens ready for further education and future careers. Educational curriculum visits, full-day or 1/2 day outings, are arranged during the school year. They are a positive part of the curriculum and are centered upon topics covered and have strong educational content. View full school

At St. James’ RC Primary School, the daily act of collective worship is viewed as an integral and important part of our everyday school life. Collective worship provides us with an opportunity to further develop our relationship with God. It is a time where we come together to share our love of God giving Him glory, honor, thanks, and praise. We believe that collective worship in our school community gives us the opportunity: To contemplate the mystery of God To unite our worshipping Eucharistic community To reflect on spiritual and moral issues To grow in liturgical understanding and development To reflect the Catholic nature of the school To reinforce prayers which are part of the Catholic tradition To provide opportunities to celebrate the liturgical season and special feasts through liturgy, ritual, symbol, and prayer. For the school community to celebrate, to give thanks, to wonder, to acknowledge success, applaud achievement, and to respond to loss and difficulties. To develop the necessary skills of reverence, contemplation, reflection, interpretation, empathy, and meditation. All of these opportunities will enable our relationship with God to be deepened and enhanced. A variety of opportunities for worship are provided, including individual prayer, group prayer in both formal and informal styles and settings, and the celebration of the Eucharist which is the center of worship for the Catholic community. Those organizing prayer, liturgies, and assemblies encourage our children to contribute their skills, and gifts to the preparation or worship and to participate as actively as possible. Prayers encourage us to remember that God is at the center of our lives, at the beginning and end of our days, and in the decisions we make. Therefore, the pupils and staff of St James say prayers at the beginning of the day, before and after lunchtime, and at the end of the day. Prayers are also shared at staff meetings, governors meetings, and parent gatherings. The whole school assemblies take place on Monday and Friday. The Monday assembly is led by the Headteacher and is centered around the Gospel readings. The Friday assembly is our award assembly which offers us an opportunity to acknowledge and reward children for their achievements both in and out of school. It plays an important part in promoting the ethos of the school which is that all children are valued and all achievements are recognized. KS1 and KS2 assemblies take place at different times of the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. KS2 Wednesday assembly focuses on the “Wednesday Word.” Father David, our parish priest, celebrates class Masses in the school with the children, staff, and parents every half term.

Roman Road is a medium-sized Primary school that celebrates the diverse community it serves in the heart of East London. We are largely a two-form entry Primary school, with plans to become three-form in the coming years. We also have a 52 place Nursery and a Pre-School which caters to children between the ages of 2 and 3. The majority of our children live in and represent our local area which is rich in its diversity. The School has undergone some major changes in the past few years. The original building which was built back in the 1970s has been enhanced by the construction of three additional blocks. These comprise 18 new classrooms, a new library new office space, and a modern sports hall. At Roman Road, we encourage the pursuit of excellence academically, socially, and spiritually. We strive to develop an inclusive fun-filled environment, which is conducive to learning. A place in which all individuals are respected and feel safe and secure, a setting in which diversity is celebrated, creativity is encouraged, and where all members can grow and achieve so that they can go on to make positive contributions to their own lives, to the local community and the wider world beyond. Our mission for the whole school community is to work in partnership and enable our learners to have equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum. We will provide a stimulating, secure, safe, and happy environment, which enables each child to reach his or her full potential. The school ethos will ensure children take responsibility for their learning and actions. The school ethos will help develop and realize the full potential of every child within the school enabling them to become confident and fulfilled, both as individuals and as members of an ever-changing society. Educational Inclusion is about equal opportunities for all pupils. It pays particular attention to the provision for, and achievement of different groups of children. We believe that all children have the right to learn together and we are committed to giving all of our children every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards. We aim to ensure that this happens for everyone who attends this school. Here at Roman Road we fully support Newham Council’s policy on Inclusive Education, which looks forward to the opportunity for all children to work together in the same type of school. We play our part by taking children who are assessed as having special education needs. Sometimes children need specialist help, which is given in the classroom wherever possible. There are occasions when small group work is appropriate, involving either just one child or a small number of children Children are encouraged to have good manners and practice a code of common courtesy in their relationships with others. They are discouraged from “standing up for themselves” by using physical responses and are always advised to tell an adult about any inappropriate behavior so that it can be dealt with. We value and encourage courteous behavior and would hope that it extends into all aspects of a child’s life. We trust we can work together in the best interests of your child and for the benefit of the whole school. View full school

Xavier College Preparatory is a Roman Catholic High School for young women. Centrally located in metropolitan Phoenix on a beautiful 19-acre campus, this vibrant Catholic high School's diverse population includes young women of all ethnic, socio-economic, and religious backgrounds. The current 1200 Xavier students come from more than 150 different elementary and middle schools, public, private, and Catholic. Since opening in 1943, members of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) have held Xavier's primary leadership roles. They continue their dedication today, working alongside a caring and dedicated faculty and staff. Together, as a community, they challenge, encourage, and support Xavier students in their growth as women of faith, expanding their knowledge, interests, and talents. Xavier College Preparatory is a Catholic community that strives to prepare young women of faith with the knowledge, skills, and integrity to positively and productively meet the challenges of a changing global society. We, the community of Xavier College Preparatory, are committed to a belief in God according to the Catholic faith's tenets enlightened by the Second Vatican Council. In that spirit, we believe in providing opportunities for all to contribute to the community of faith. We fully believe in the ideals of democracy, integrity, tolerance, and respect in harmony with the love of God, of self, and humankind, and we affirm the fundamental roles of parents and families as primary instruments of faith and education. We also believe in conscientiously reviewing and improving our college preparatory curriculum, educational goals, and performance objectives to sustain a learning process that encourages personal growth, faith development, and community involvement for the young women entrusted to our care. Educating the whole person-intellectually, physically, and spiritually- is the guiding premise of a Xavier education. These young women deserve the most competitive morally-grounded education possible. The curriculum is designed with young women in mind. The Xavier administration and faculty make curricular decisions that emphasize women. Female role models in History, other social sciences, literature, fine arts, science, and the Church are regularly brought into the curriculum. Attention to the cognitive and social development of girls maturing into young women is paramount. Xavier is committed to fostering excellence in academics and character in young women. Such attributes will serve them in high School, college, and adult life. The environment is less socially pressured than at co-ed schools. Although there are numerous opportunities for Xavier students to share various activities and classes with boys at Brophy College Preparatory, they generally appreciate the more supportive atmosphere of all-girl classes. Young women who might be timid about expressing themselves intellectually in co-ed classes will often take part in classes with no boys present. At Xavier, attention to the cognitive development of young women is vital. The School is committed to fostering excellence in academics, building character in young women, and nurturing leadership. Xavier offers students numerous opportunities to become involved in their community and share in student activities and peer groups. Ninety-five percent of the student body participates in one of more than 70+ extra-curricular activities. All Xavier students take a core college-prep curriculum in all four years, including English, theology, mathematics, science, social studies, world languages, fine arts, physical education, and computer science. There are honors and Advanced Placement courses in most academic disciplines beginning in the freshwoman year. In the sophomore year and the core subjects and the required computer programming, elective courses are chosen from a wide variety of curriculum areas such as fine arts, digital arts, world languages, social studies, science, theology, and family and consumer resources. Twenty-seven credits are required for graduation. All students participate in an independent yearly summer reading program and a Christian Service program. View full school
