"St Gregory the Great is a good school. It draws together students with very diverse backgrounds and aspirations and enables all to make a full and active contribution to the life of the school and the wider community. Students play a leading role in developing their school, for example in shaping its approaches to teaching and learning, the curriculum and anti-bullying strategies. The school's outstanding promotion of community cohesion has led to students becoming widely involved in an extensive range of local, national and international projects. Students rightly point to the school's celebration of diversity and its nurturing of positive, respectful relationships as key strengths. They feel safe in a caring environment. Students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding." (OFSTED September 2011).

Mission Statement
Established as a centre of Catholic Lifelong Learning serving Oxford and South Oxfordshire, we the students, staff and governors of St. Gregory the Great, Oxford, seek to develop as a community of faith, where Catholic beliefs and values can grow.
We aim to serve each other, the Church, parents, and the wider community. We strive to create and cultivate an atmosphere where each person is inspired, encouraged and supported to the highest levels of educational achievement. Our school aims to ensure that all are able to realise their aspirations, take their responsibilities seriously, respect themselves and others, and grow in love of Christ.
Our Goals
• Faith
To affirm the educational process as a Christian journey, by helping people to grow as followers of Christ and foster each other’s faith in all that they do.
• Achievement
To provide the best teaching resources and technology available and to create a physical and emotional environment in which excellence can thrive and pupils have the opportunity to achieve their full personal potential.
• Worship
To celebrate our faith, by creating structures and encouraging attitudes that will make prayer and liturgy highly valued, with all members of the community becoming involved.

We will promote the idea of the school as a partner with the community, in terms of education, sporting and charitable activities, practising an outward-looking attitude to all, especially parents and local parishes. Our school will prepare our students to become responsible citizens.
