Our Vision & Values  

Loyola is first and foremost a Catholic school, and it is in this Catholicity that the school finds its identity as a happy, high-achieving, family school where each child grows in the love of Christ.

‘God freely created us so that we might know, love and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever’

St Ignatius of Loyola

The core values of our school focus on high expectations for all learners, developing skills for life, encouraging good self-esteem and developing a set of core moral values based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ.

These values are core to every part of our lives. They are reflected in the way we treat each other, the way we look for every day opportunities to help those in need and in the example that we demonstrate to all those we meet.

Loyola aims to provide a stimulating and exciting environment. We believe that all children thrive in an environment in which they are happy, challenged and secure: secure in the knowledge that they are safe and cared for; challenged to achieve their best; and happy in the knowledge they are each appreciated for their individuality and their achievements.

Children and their families in this school are well known to our community. Within our community, we welcome the parents and wider family of our pupils, acknowledging the vital role they play in the education of their children. An active partnership and effective collaboration between home and school ensures our children are provided with a start to their life that they deserve as unique individuals.

 ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’ 

John 10:10
