Dear Parents I would like to welcome you to St Philomena’s Catholic High School for Girls. Choosing a secondary school for your daughter will probably be one of the most important decisions you make as a parent. Through this prospectus I hope to give you a glimpse of our school, of the vision we have to develop the young women in our care and of the values we hold as a community. At St Philomena’s we have a clear, distinctive Catholic ethos that helps our students to feel completely secure and this brings with it a sense of shared ownership in the school. Our students are inquisitive, open to new ideas, hungry to learn and aware of their responsibilities to others and to the world in which they live. Our vision is centred on eight key areas: • Sharing our Catholic vision and ethos. • Developing inspirational leaders at all levels. • Delivering outstanding learning and teaching. • Providing effective professional development for all our staff. • Building a stimulating sustainable learning environment. • Creating a challenging, inclusive curriculum. • Nurturing high quality partnerships. • Ensuring rigorous evaluation for school improvement. It is my belief that these areas will enable us to improve our standards of excellence even further. St Philomena’s is a living learning community, where each student is stretched and encouraged to perform to her highest ability in an environment where she will feel happy and secure. We are rightly very proud of our academic record, the students and their achievements. We actively encourage our students to take a lead role in their education, develop their learning whilst maturing into confident, resilient, resourceful young women able to face any challenge. The vast majority of students progress to our sixth form and thereafter to university or further education. We have a very active Old Girls’ network. Our commitment to you is that your daughter will be welcomed to St Philomena’s as a child and will leave as a young woman, with a broad and balanced breadth of knowledge and experience, enriched by her education and ready to embrace the challenges presented by the wider world. If you would like to learn more about our school and meet our staff and students, please visit us on our Open Evening or Open Mornings. I look forward to meeting and welcoming you to our school. Yours sincerely Miss M Noone BSc (Hons) MBA Headteacher
