St Walburga's School exists to further the work of Christ and this fundamental truth is the essence of all that we are and all that we do.
We aim to be a warm and welcoming school reaching out and forging links with those whom we meet.
We are part of the Catholic diocesan family of Portsmouth. The governors, staff and parents aim to work together as a friendly, caring community for the benefit of all the children in the school. In this way we can ensure that all aspects of school life are firmly rooted in Christian ideals.
The aim of the school is to prepare the children for the years ahead, fully aware of the needs of others, so that each child may learn to live as a member of God's creation at peace in a multi-cultural society, in the following ways:
SPIRITUALLY as members of a living, loving, reconciling, worshipping community with Christ at its centre, witnessing to society at large.
SOCIALLY & MORALLY respecting the unique value of each person created in God's image thus upholding the teachings of Christ which encourage a true sense of self-discipline, social responsibility and mutual respect.
ACADEMICALLY developing the children's talents, abilities, skills and understanding to their full potential through a broad and balanced curriculum.
To achieve this, the school looks to the partnership with parents for the development of the faith and religious commitment to their children. Parents are the first educators of the children and our school sees itself as an extension of the family.
The life of the school and the whole curriculum are based on our living faith. We hope to share that faith by introducing it to some, rekindling it for others and deepening it for many, by giving witness to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We aim to foster a personal spiritual life and a love and understanding of the sacraments in all the members of the school community through prayer, worship and example.
