From the Broughton Hall Catholic High School
Welcome to our website, which provides a glimpse into our school's daily operations. The Sister of Mercy served as the school's trustees when Broughton Hall Catholic High School was established in 1928. Even though a lot has changed since then, our school's Catholic culture and values continue to guide everything we do. Every day, our school's motto, One Heart, One Mind, is upheld. We acknowledge and value everyone's God-given skills and are committed to supporting and assisting each member of our school community in realising their full potential while also celebrating success in all its forms. We think that through encouraging initiative, self-reliance, self-control, and the capacity for reasoned decision-making in our students, God will help them grow into kind adults. They will continue to contribute to making our world a better place for everyone. You can learn more about the duties and responsibilities of the staff and governors who work to provide the best learning environment for our students on our website. We hope our website will help parents, carers and all members of our school community understand how we ensure each of our pupils are given the education, care and guidance to want to achieve and to have pride in their efforts to do so. Although our school has a beautiful front, we recognise that what happens within is what truly impacts the lives of our students. We are happy with our standing in the community and optimistic about the future, which belongs to our entire school. We firmly believe in our founder Catherine McAuley's advice to "resolve to be good today and better tomorrow." Something in which we have faith for both ourselves and the children under our care.
