Our Catholic Life

At St Thomas More’s Catholic Primary School, Religious Education is at the heart of our mission and daily life. Inspired by our mission statement, “As we walk together with Jesus, we live, love and learn,” we strive to lead each child to a deeper relationship with God and a fuller understanding of the Catholic faith.

Religious Education at St Thomas More’s is founded on the teachings of the Church and the example of Jesus Christ. It aims to:

• Nurture a living faith – helping children come to know, love, and follow Jesus through prayer, Scripture, and the Sacraments.

• Deepen understanding of Catholic teaching – developing knowledge of the beliefs, traditions, and practices of the Church.

• Form conscience and character – guiding pupils to live out Gospel values such as compassion, forgiveness, justice, and love.

• Celebrate liturgy and prayer – fostering a strong sense of Catholic identity through Mass, prayer, and the liturgical seasons of the Church year.

• Build community and mission – encouraging children to serve others and witness to their faith in everyday life.

• Respect all people and faiths – promoting understanding and dialogue in the spirit of Christ’s love for all.
