Our Gospel Values are displayed in every classroom and in shared spaces. They:
- Embed Gospel Values throughout school life by helping children understand and live out the teachings of Jesus through kindness, forgiveness, honesty, compassion, humility, service and justice.
- Deepen children's understanding of Scripture by connecting each Gospel Value to a Bible passage or story, helping pupils recognise how Jesus demonstrated these values through His words and actions.
- Encourage children to put their faith into action by providing practical, age-appropriate examples of how Gospel Values can be demonstrated in their relationships, behaviour and everyday choices.
- Strengthen the Catholic life and mission of the school by establishing a shared understanding of Gospel Values across the school community, supporting prayer, reflection, collective worship and positive relationships.
- Bring our school Mission Statement to life by empowering children to recognise that “Illuminated by Christ, we radiate His love” means following the example of Jesus and making a positive difference in our school, families and wider community
