# Mission Statement

As a Roman Catholic academy, St. Michael’s is a community that seeks to live by the gospel taught by Jesus Christ and to learn from his example.​

We live out our motto by:​

**Acting Justly: ​**

Honesty: recognising the human dignity of each person as they are made in the image of God.​

Justice:  we work to create a community where people can live peacefully together showing forgiveness and justice in all our relationships.​

Respect: to create a society where everyone can thrive and be involved in the decisions that affect them; it is important for everyone's voice to be heard.​

**Loving tenderly:​**

Compassion: throughout our academy the most vulnerable in society are put at the heart of all of our decisions. We show our love for all through charitable acts. ​

Self-belief: to believe in, and value ourselves, whilst caring about all people regardless of what they look like and where they come from.​

**Walking humbly:​**

Resilience: all opportunities help us to develop a love of learning and fulfil our academic and spiritual potential. We understand that challenge helps us to grow.​

Responsibility: through stewardship and leadership, we have a responsibility to work with our parishes and local community to care for our common home.​

Confidence: helps us to have life in abundance.
