At the core of ODBST is a set of strong spiritual values and a fundamental commitment to building a better future for the pupils in our schools. This enables them to flourish, achieve and enjoy life in all its fullness. Our schools can evolve individually; develop best practice that can be shared; provide effective professional development; and strive for operational excellence. Each school positively impacts on their local community, providing a values-led education and promoting the welfare of pupils and staff.
