We intend :
- To ensure every young person’s journey into adulthood is a journey of faith: one that recognises that true justice, peace and human freedom require, first and foremost, respect for the dignity of human life.
- To ensure metacognition, debate and critical thinking are planned for and taught across the curriculum.
Time allocation: 1 hr per week
