As an Ursuline School, St. Ursula's strives to foster
a school community where Christian values are lived and taught. Accordingly,
religious instruction, liturgical services and prayer are part of the
daily life of the school. The school offers opportunities for open communication
so that both parents and school can work together to ensure the holistic
development of the child.
The children are encouraged to be active participants in their own learning
and to develop the talents and gifts unique to each one. The school
prides itself on its focus on the individual pupil and specialist staff
provide learning support for pupils with specific learning difficulties.
The more gifted pupils are equally encouraged to ensure they reach their
full potential.
The school encourages the children to show respect at all times, for
themselves, for others and for the environment and to be active members
of the school community.
Talent and achievement are celebrated at weekly Assembly.
