                    The Virgin Mary BNS  Ethos 

About Our School

Our mission statement:
In accordance with the ethos of the school and with the co-operation of families and teachers, we aim to promote the moral, spiritual, social, emotional and physical well-being of each child.
​We aim to develop a sense of self-respect and self-worth in the children and of respect and tolerance towards others so that they may grow into responsible adults within the family and within the community.

​
Our school policies are

  • To provide a caring, safe, sensitive environment in which to explore R.S.E. programme.
  • To provide information that is relevant and age-appropriate.
  • To promote personal hygiene and health safety.
  • To develop language, skills and coping strategies for dealing with emotions and difficult situations.
  • To develop the ability to relate appropriately to peers and adults.
  • To develop awareness and understanding of different relationships and their roles in the childrens lives.
  • To develop a sense of self-esteem and self-awareness in each child.
  • To promote a sense of the wonder of new life.
  • To develop an awareness of the value and importance of choices that the children will make in their lives.

NEW FOR 2024........
In light of our ethos, we are aiming to become a nurturing school. By that we mean a school that prioritises wellbeing alongside education and provides a safe, welcoming and caring place for children to learn and thrive. Please see below for details of some of our plans:
