At Holy Rood, our mission statement is;

The family of Holy Rood School will try to live, learn, grow and celebrate together, as friends, through the love of Christ.

Through this we strive to ensure every pupil progresses throughout their time at Holy Rood. It is recognised that sometimes pupils will need additional support in order to achieve this. The Senior Leadership Team includes a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator dedicated to working with class teachers, parents/carers and outside agencies to ensure each pupil receives the support they need to live, learn, grow and celebrate throughout their time at Holy Rood.
