School Mission
As a Catholic school, our mission is to show love through our respect for others.
We value our God-given gifts, talents and abilities. Our aim is to bring out the best in everyone, within a safe and happy environment.
Everyone should know that we are followers of God by what we do, not just by what we say.
Careers Vision
Through our careers programme pupils will develop valuable life skills to fully prepare them for their future. They will be ambitious and strive for excellence in everything they do. Pupils will embrace our motto of ‘Rise up, take courage and do it.’

Careers Intent
Careers education at The Barlow aims to give pupils the knowledge and skills they need to be fully prepared for the world of work. Pupils should:
- Gain knowledge on the range of education or training options, including apprenticeships and technical education routes.
- Gain knowledge of Local Labour Market information and use this to help guide them when making decisions at key transition points.
- Develop key employability skills which will prepare them for the world of work
- Be able to recognise their own interests, strengths and areas for development and use self-reflection when choosing pathways.
The school is doing so through the measure of provision against the Gatsby Benchmarks of:
- A stable careers programme
- Learning from career and labour market information
- Addressing the needs of each pupil
- Linking curriculum learning to careers
- Encounters with employers and employees
- Experiences of workplaces
- Encounters with further and higher education
- Personal guidance
