Our Mission

"Growing in God's Love" 

We are a Catholic School, a family and a spiritual community. We have a holistic approach;  supporting our children, families and the parish and making lasting links with them.We are educators who hope to inspire and challenge the natural curiosity in children.

Our mission is to 'Grow in God's love'. valuing and respecting all in our community. We strive to enable our children to fulfill their potential and aim for excellence through exploration, discovery and creativity. We want to help them to grow and prepare for a successful and happy future.

We are defined by Gospel Values, our unique location, our collaborative and optimistic staff team, our strong links with our parish neighbours and the wider community; by our faith.

We are inspired by a shared sense of awe and wonder and joy in the world and the opportunities that lie ahead for children. We are aspirational for our pupils, ourselves and our school community. We are inspired by the pupils and their families and by each other. Our beautiful location and surroundings inspire us and give us an appreciation of where we are that is tangible and part of our ethos.

A fulfilment of our mission is when we see our children demonstrate their growth with Gospel Values, when we see their positive view of themselves and the wider world, their excitement and their love of learning. It is when we see our pupils confident and energised for their next step in life; when we help them to make lasting memories through shared experiences and we then see them reflect on how special their lives as a member of the St Jerome's family has been. 

We begin each year with a Mission Week. During this week, the children reflect on what 'Growing in God's love' means to them. We invite parishioners, parents and carers and governors into our school to refresh our Mission and start the academic year with this at the forefront of all that we do.
