In recent weeks, Bishop Nicholas has been visiting schools across the Diocese of Plymouth. He has visited our Catholic Secondary Schools in Plymouth (Notre Dame and St Boniface College), St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic/Church of England School in Torquay. He has also visited the Polish Saturday School in Plymouth.
Catholic schools in our diocese welcome those of all faiths and none. The Gospel values-driven approach of our schools offers a wonderful opportunity for our students.
Bishop Nicholas said “It has been a pleasure to meet staff and pupils in schools in the Diocese of Plymouth. Our schools not only focus on academic excellence but seek to create an environment which goes beyond academic success — enabling students to develop into thoughtful, caring individuals ready to make a positive contribution to the Common Good.”
“At the heart of our schools is a strong emphasis on Gospel values such as humility, compassion, forgiveness, and service to others. I heard from students about how they are encouraged to treat others with kindness, to be honest, and to contribute positively to their communities”
Let us pray for all the staff and pupils in our schools and give thanks for their hard work and dedication.
Thank you to St Cuthbert Mayne School for the image.
