During November 2022, members of our school council formed the new and updated vision for our school:
By following in Jesus’ footsteps, we nurture the leaders of the future. Leaders who will care for God’s creation and make a difference in the lives of others. Trustworthy leaders who will use their gifts and talents to bring a balance and strength to those around them. Curious leaders who are not afraid to question or learn from mistakes. Leaders who seek the truth.
Written by Ethan, Chris, Maddie, Maria, Kara and Cian based on the ideas of staff, children and Governors.
Our Mission Statement:
Learning and loving on our journey with Jesus
Our School Rule:
Be the person God wants you to be
We also recognise not only the importance of allowing children to flourish and embrace our wider role in preparing them for their adult life beyond the formal examined curriculum. Part of our role in preparation is ensuring that we promote and reinforce British Values to our pupils.

Class Saints
At the start of the year each class chose their own class Saint, they will explore and learn about their chosen Saint and lead a prayer service over the course of the academic year.
Every child and members of staff will be given one of these four Houses to support. Siblings are placed in the same houses. Teaching and non-teaching staff will also belong to a House, with the exception of the Senior Leadership Team, as they will encourage and support the children in positive team building through the House system.
House points are awarded using the following guidance:
Our rewards system aims to encourage a real sense of pride and achievement for the children. It fosters community spirit and gives the children an opportunity to contribute to something bigger, which involves children from all year groups. The older children are positive role models and take on a pastoral role for the younger children.

The School Council
We value the opinions of our pupils and the School Council gives pupils a forum to share these opinions with the Executive Principal. It provides our children with the opportunity to raise issues, share ideas and participate in discussions and decisions made about the school which may affect them. Elections to become a member are held annually and children are asked to fill in an application and are then invited in for a interview.
The School Council members within the Romero Academy gather regularly as part of Pupil Voice to share ideas on how they can help to assist the local community.

Learning and loving on our journey with Jesus
All are welcomed, respected and valued. A school where God given potential is nurtured and differences are celebrated.
Challenge is embraced, questions are welcomed, curiosity is encouraged, perseverance is rewarded, successes are celebrated, voices are heard and making mistakes are all part of the learning experience.
Opportunities and experiences go above and beyond the expected. A school where there is a passion for reading.
The individual faith journey of each child is valued and supported, and time is dedicated for prayer, for stillness and for worship.
Children are encouraged to think for themselves, to be independent and are encouraged to be active in making a difference for their tomorrow.
Memories are made.
