CATHOLIC LIFE SUMMARY

Aim for the higher gifts with joyfulness and kindness

Inspired by the joy and kindness of its patron St Philip Neri, St Philip’s is an authentic Catholic school in which boys are encouraged to grow in faith, confidence, and character. Our community combines strong pastoral care with a rich liturgical life and a commitment to academic and personal excellence.

​

Our Mission Statement explains how the Catholic faith shapes daily relationships, classroom life and service to others. Boys take meaningful responsibility for their community, and they learn to serve, work together, and lead with humility and purpose. Staff and governors work closely to nurture the school’s Catholic identity and ensure that faith is not only taught, but is lived, celebrated, and embedded throughout school life. 

​​

Together, these strands help St Philip’s boys flourish as compassionate young gentlemen who understand both their dignity and their duty to others. This gives our boys a rare and distinctive moral foundation, which we hope will remain with them throughout their life.
