Mission Statement
To promote Life-Long Learning within the Church and Community for our personal, spiritual, moral, social, cultural and economic development.

Vision For Our Schools
We share the vision for schools as set out by the Archbishop of Canterbury, that our schools are: "Not just about acquiring skills and good examination results." They are about forming people who have the moral strength and spiritual depth to hold to a course and weather ups and downs. (They are) about forming people who know that economic competition is not more important than family life and love of neighbour, and that technical innovation is not more important than reverence for the beauty of creation. It is about forming people who, however academically and technically skilful, are not reduced to inarticulate embarrassment by the great questions of life and death and the meaning of truth."
