St Edmund's Catholic Primary School

Welcome to our school website, we hope you enjoy your visit!

On Tuesday 15th March 2022, Fr Mike came in to talk about the Holy Family Icon, which was written last year by Fr Luke Goymour for the Year of St Joseph. (Icons are said to be ‘written’, not painted). The icon has been displayed in every church in the Diocese of East Anglia - and St Edmund’s is the last! Fr Mike explained that icons are used specifically as a prayer focus and everybody responds in their own way. He invited the children to share their responses to it:
“The way Mary and Joseph are looking at Jesus makes me think of love, care and kindness in a family.” Ronan
“The brightness of the halos stands out for me, and reminds me that there is still light and hope, even when bad things are happening in the world.”

Collective Worship - promoting Gospel Values and British Values

 

The Social, Spiritual, Moral and Cultural Development of pupils is important to us and one way in which we foster this is by promoting our ‘Gospel Values’ alongside our British Values.   Our policies, procedures and daily teaching are underpinned by these values.

Our weekly Gospel assembly, whole school, key stage and class collective worship are based around the Gospel Values, which forms an important focus in the daily life of our school.

Courage, creativity, thankfulness, responsibility, compassion, peace, service, justice, trust, hope, love, forgiveness, friendship, humility, generosity and reverence and respect.

As well as actively promoting Gospel and British values, the opposite also applies: we would actively challenge pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental Gospel and British values, including ‘extremist’ views.
