St Edmund Campion Catholic School

Our school is steeped in values and tradition and has served the local and wider community with pride and passion for over forty years. Each year we are well oversubscribed and we are understandably very proud of our reputation in the local community. Each day at St Edmund Campion Catholic School an atmosphere of calm purpose pervades. Our dedicated, professional and talented staff work hard to secure the very best for all. Our values, which are rooted in the Gospel values of Jesus Christ, are role modelled consistently by staff and our young people are nurtured to become the very best people they can be.

We believe it is the God given right for every child to receive an ambitious and excellent curriculum that secures the finest outcomes for all. Not only do we aim to provide pupils with a rich tapestry of academic qualifications but we are committed to the development of their whole person. Our broad extra-curricular activities programme will challenge and encourage our young people to develop their character and resilience.

St Edmund Campion School is well regarded by Ofsted and our outstanding sixth form secures the very best outcomes for pupils. It provides them with the qualifications and skills to access Higher education; whether that be through a University pathway or via some of the most highly sought after work based apprenticeships on offer.

Our mission statement, ‘Achieving Together through Christ’ is lived out through our five core principles which permeate every aspect of life at Campion. St. Edmund Campion School exists as part of a partnership of home, parish and school, which together educate and pass on the Faith to our children. We aim to assist parents in their God-given role as educators by providing a Catholic secondary education.

As a Catholic school, our aim is to develop a community which is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit. It is a community based on love, trust and respect, in which young people develop as fully integrated persons in Christ. Together we strive for every member of our community to achieve their full potential, academically, personally and spiritually in the atmosphere of high-quality personal relationships.

The basic rule is the fundamental commandment of Our Lord, ‘Love God and Love your Neighbour’ expressed in day to day action in school through the offering of our prayer and work to God and courtesy and consideration to others.
