'Be kind and compassionate to one another.' Ephesians 4:32

Subject Leader: Miss Daly
Support Leads: Mrs Steen and Miss Brough

At Our Lady of Compassion Catholic Primary School, our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our mission statement, "Be kind and compassionate to one another" (Ephesians 4:32), we strive to create a welcoming and nurturing community where every child is valued, respected and encouraged to flourish as a child of God.

 

Our faith is not simply taught – it is lived. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we encourage our children to grow spiritually, morally and socially through prayer, worship, service and daily acts of kindness. Gospel values underpin every aspect of school life, helping our pupils to build positive relationships, care for others and recognise the dignity of every person.

 

Catholic Life is woven throughout our school community. Through daily prayer, Celebration of the Word, Religious Education, the sacraments, charitable outreach, Mini Vinnies, parish partnerships and the celebration of the Church's liturgical year, our children are given opportunities to encounter Christ and deepen their relationship with God.

 

We encourage our pupils to live out their faith by putting Catholic Social Teaching into action. Whether supporting local charities, fundraising for CAFOD, caring for God's creation or serving others within our school and parish communities, our children are inspired to become compassionate, responsible citizens who make a positive difference in the world.

 

Working closely with our families, parish and wider community, we seek to nurture confident, caring young people who leave Our Lady of Compassion equipped with the knowledge, faith and values to continue living out our mission each day:

"Be kind and compassionate to one another." (Ephesians 4:32)

Home, School and Parish

 

At our school, we believe that children grow best in faith when home, school and parish work closely together. This partnership supports children in developing their relationship with God and living out Gospel values in everyday life.

 

Our Role as a School

We provide daily prayer, Religious Education lessons and regular Celebration of the Word. We follow the liturgical year and help children understand the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church.

The Role of Parents and Carers

 

Parents are the first educators of their children in faith.

We encourage families to:

  • Pray together at home

  • Attend Mass regularly

  • Talk about faith and Gospel values

  • Support children in preparing for the Sacraments

 

Our Parish Community

We work closely with our parish to:

  • Celebrate Mass together

  • Support Sacramental preparation

  • Take part in parish events and liturgies

  • Strengthen links between school and church life

 

Together, we create a strong and supportive faith community where children can grow spiritually, morally and socially.
