"Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire," St Catherine of Sienna.

Welcome to the Catholic Life area of our website.  Our values are inspired by Jesus Christ and based upon the Gospel values. We are a Catholic school for all and believe that by nurturing a deeper appreciation of the Gospel values in each student, they will go on to be caring, responsible and well rounded adults who can make a positive impact in the world. Our Gospel values tree is an illustration of this aim. By planting the seed of each value and helping each child to grow in their understanding of how to apply it in their day to day lives, then their actions will be bear fruit.

Each half term we focus on a key church teaching of the Catholic church. These are included in the themes used in assemblies and Collective Worship as well as activities during tutor time. We hope that by reflecting on these teachings, then students will appreciate that at St Augustine’s we believe each child is willed, loved and has purpose, irrespective of ability or background.

Our Gospel values are something which unite us all as they are principles to live by, regardless of faith. Students can join the Chaplaincy Team which focuses on fun ways to put our values into action.  If any student is interested in becoming a Catholic or continuing with their faith in which they were baptised, then we will support them in receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

Section 48

The Archdiocese of Birmingham graded St Augustine's as “Outstanding” in all three categories of the Section 48 Catholic Inspection.  The report commented that the impact of Catholic Life on our pupils by the time they leave St Augustine’s is profound.  Religious Education is outstanding; our teachers are authentic witnesses to a life of faith and inspire pupils in their learning.  Likewise, Collective Worship is outstanding as it engages students and inspires them to take the messages that it shares into their daily lives and interactions with others.  A copy of the report is attached.
