In our school we work hard to encourage positive attitudes, independent learning, a sense of pride and high achievement. St. Gregory CEVC Primary School pupils are motivated learners who ask questions and listen to and respect others. They take pride in their work, demonstrate positive learning habits and strive to do their best.
Our pupils have the confidence to try new things and the resilience to persevere even if things get challenging. They see a mistake as a learning opportunity not a failure and are keen to build on their mistakes to develop greater understanding. Our children are respectful to the people they meet, their own local environment and the wider world.
The school strives to create polite, well-mannered caring members of our community who understand and respect everybody's differences and needs.
