MISSION STATEMENT

“God is love, and he who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in him” (1 Jn 4:16)
Our mission is to provide an excellent Catholic education for all our students which enables them to respond to the call of Christ throughout their lives.

Our mission is to provide an excellent Catholic education for all our students which enables them to respond to the call of Christ throughout their lives. Caritas – the love which is God – is the golden thread running through everything we do. We welcome and accept all our students and staff as unique individuals created in the image of God. We treat one another with kindness and respect. We are a community of Caritas where everyone feels safe, supported and inspired to make a difference in our local, national and global communities.

​

We strive for the highest quality of learning and teaching that inspires us all to discover and develop our God-given gifts and talents, to excel in the present and aim high for the future.

BRITISH VALUES

The government set out their definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, which were reinforced in November 2014 as a result of recent events. Read more


These new regulations sit alongside the requirements of the Equalities Act, which also applies to all types of school. Schools are expected to focus on, and be able to show, how work with students is effective in embedding fundamental British values.

​

At Cardinal Newman and Newman College we agree with the Department for Education’s five-part definition of British values:

​

  • democracy

  • the rule of law

  • individual liberty

  • mutual respect

  • tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

​​

Our mission is for all our students to be effective citizens, equipped with the values, knowledge and behaviour which will enable them to become a full member of our society and democracy in the United Kingdom. This is expressed through our Mission Statement.
