Welcome to Cardinal Griffin Catholic College. Cardinal Griffin has a distinct Catholic ethos, creating an environment in which all of our pupils can thrive. We encourage our pupils to be grateful for their gifts, for the gifts of others, and for the blessings of each day. We want them to be generous with their gifts, becoming ‘Men and Women for Others’. We hope that they will develop daily habits which, in turn, will become the values that will sustain them for the rest of their life.

Our pledge to all of our families is that we will do all that we can for every single pupil, every single day. Our pupils will always be at the heart of every decision that we make, and we will endeavour to provide every child with an exceptional education. The sort of education we would want for our own children! 

What We Believe

It is our belief that exceptional communication skills enhance the spiritual development, life chances and opportunities of all in the community.
