This is a Roman Catholic School which believes that all religious faiths and cultures
can work together in a spirit of mutual understanding and respect.
We positively encourage the knowledge and celebration of all faiths and provide the
right setting for young people to make an informed commitment to God.
To this extent we are fully ecumenical and welcome pupils from all religious traditions
and backgrounds.
There is meaningful prayer, worship and liturgical celebrations in which all pupils and
staff are welcome to participate.
We believe that all that happens in our community, the pastoral care, education and
community life, has the potential to speak of God's loving care for each and every one
of us.
We constantly work at building a community of people who respect each other, who
feel a sense of responsibility for each other and who are willing to participate in
service to others. The school has a long tradition of service to the local and wider
community. Each year, sums of money and materials are raised for many causes
including CAFOD, Christian Aid, European and Third World projects.
We believe that the school's religious, spiritual and moral ethos must be lived in the
day to day life of the school and constantly appraised in the light of our Mission
Statement.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AT ST VINCENT'S
"The Religious Education lessons, the Collective Worship, the daily life of the school
and the example set by adults and pupils, all make an excellent contribution to the
spiritual and moral development of pupils." Religious Education Inspection Report
1997.
Religious education at St Vincent's is rooted in our whole school community. It
addresses all pupils and fully supports their own Christian and other world faith
traditions. Classroom teaching is based on the content of the Liverpool Archdiocesan
syllabus.
