Carmel is built on the principles of Catholic education which foster a belief in the importance and value of individuals. We have the highest expectations of all students and staff and live out the Gospel values of love, peace, justice, community, and care for creation and service.
Relationships within the college are really positive and are built on mutual trust and respect. We encourage students to recognise their responsibilities to themselves and to others. Teachers encourage students to understand the social, moral, spiritual and cultural implications of their subjects.
The Chaplaincy provides opportunities for prayer, reflection and spiritual growth. There are regular weekly services for those who want them as well as occasional retreats and we take time out to reflect at important times of the year: Christmas, Easter, Ash Wednesday, Remembrance Day etc.
As part of our general RE curriculum, students discuss important social, moral and religious issues, with the opportunity to explore their relevance to current affairs. Alongside our weekly ‘Carmel Contemplation’, this lesson provides time and space for students to think and reflect, and is designed to encourage them to develop their own beliefs, opinions and ideas.
“The Catholic mission of the college, to promote excellence, opportunity, challenge and support for all students in a caring environment, infuses the organisation. The behaviour and actions of governors, staff and students reflect this mission daily.”
“Carmel College is a very welcoming college to students and staff of all social, ethnic and religious backgrounds.”
