Mission Statement The mission of Chatsmore Catholic High School is to help every individual to achieve the best that they can through giving witness to the way of life inspired by Christ and taught by His Church. In our journey we aim: to pray and worship together to develop a happy community where we achieve and experience friendship and respect to love, help and support individuals in learning and faith. So that each day we show that God is: in our heads and in our understanding in our eyes and in our looking in our mouths and in our speaking in our hearts and in our caring for our friends and family as we continue to build God’s kingdom. Philosophy The curriculum should ensure that our students know God and will develop a relationship with God to enable them to develop as Catholics with a strong faith underpinned by Gospel values which support their life choices and create lifelong learners with the skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to take an active part in a rapidly changing world. Our curriculum will continually and coherently support the development of the School as a worshipping community where students take an active role in shaping the future of our School community and the community of the wider world. We want to create an exciting, vibrant and challenging learning community where expectations are high. The responsibility for learning rests with the learner.
