WELCOME
Thank you for
visiting our website. I am pleased to introduce our school to you.
We are a co-educational comprehensive school
meeting the needs of children of all abilities aged 11-16. We serve
the Catholic community of the western region of Cardiff, as well as
families from other religious and non-religious backgrounds who seek
to receive a faith education.
Our aim is quite simple. We want our children
to develop into ‘well-rounded individuals’ who leave us ready to be
successful in the next stage of their lives. We are a school which
seeks to develop the ‘whole person’. This is not code for
‘non-academic’. In fact our school is the fastest improving school
in Cardiff and one of the most improved in Wales! But a school which
focuses purely on passing exams is ‘selling its children short!’ We
aim to ensure every child in our care achieves their full potential
academically but also develops skills to be successful in our
ever-changing world and understand a sense of morality guided by the
gospel values of respect, care, compassion and love. These aims are
delivered through a strong pastoral system, a commitment to
providing high quality teaching and learning and an extensive range
of sporting, cultural, physical and extra-curricular activities.
Visitors to the school are impressed by the students, who are
friendly, who value the school and want to be successful learners.
The staff are dedicated and committed to providing the children with
a first-class education. We only recruit the finest teachers who
will inspire, motivate and challenge our students to be the ‘best
they can be’.
Children have one chance in education. They
deserve the best and our role at school is to ensure we provide them
with this. We have the highest expectations of and for our students
and we shall leave no stone unturned to achieve our goal. We will
always focus on improving the quality of the education our young
people experience and place great importance in working together in
partnership with students, staff and parents.
Educating children is a great responsibility
and an immense privilege. If you are a parent of a student already
at the school, thank you for entrusting us with that job. We won’t
let you down! If you are considering sending your child to Mary
Immaculate or would like to find out more do get in touch. We are
open to visitors every day.
Warm wishes,
Marc Belli
Headteacher
