Vision & Values

At Franciscan School, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and inspired to achieve excellence. Through high-quality teaching, inclusive practice, and a nurturing environment, we help every child grow into a confident learner and compassionate individual.

Belonging is at the heart of Franciscan: a place where children know they matter, where staff are driven by purpose, and where families are welcomed as partners in learning.

Our Core Values:

• At Franciscan, everything we do is underpinned by our three core values:

  • Respect – We treat others as we wish to be treated, valuing every voice and celebrating our differences.

  • Kindness – We show empathy, care, and compassion in our words and actions, helping others to feel safe and supported.

  • Perseverance – We face challenges with courage, determination, and resilience, always striving to be the best version of ourselves.

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

We are proud to be a UNICEF Rights Respecting Gold School, guided by the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

This means that rights and respect are embedded in every aspect of school life; in our curriculum, relationships, and culture. We empower children to take an active role in their learning, express their views, and make a positive difference within our school and community.

At Franciscan, we aim to provide an education of the highest quality within a community built on our shared values. We want every child to leave Franciscan knowing they are capable, valued, and ready to shape a better world.
