Ysgol Padarn Sant supports the development of the whole child through the adoption of the Catholic Pupil Profile (as directed by the Diocese of Menevia). We call these virtues the term the Habits of the Heart. The Habits of the Heart are composed of 8 pairs of virtues that sum up how pupils (and staff) in our Catholic Schools should be living and learning, keeping with St Ignatius Loyola’s own vision of “improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good.”
