Pupils at St Hugh’s know their mission statement and can articulate what it means, explaining if they ‘walk in the footsteps of Jesus, we are his disciples trying to be like him’ . 
 
Staff understand their Catholic mission and know that ‘Christ is at the centre of everything we do and the values we expect of the children are echoed by the staff’. This results in a parent describing St Hugh’s as ‘a special place where all are known and loved’
 
Senior leaders and governors have a determined commitment to ensuring Christ is at the heart of everyday life at St Hugh’s.
 
Prayer is central to the life of the school and has a calming impact on the pupils’ daily lives, helping them to ‘follow in the footsteps of Jesus’
