Our Christian Virtues

As a Church of England School, our Christian Virtues underpin all that we do.

We have 7 core Christian Virtues. Chosen by our school family comprising of children, staff, parents and governors, they represent the ethos and vision for our school and filter through our daily life in school as a key part of our character education.

They reinforce our vision strapline ‘Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly’.

  • Respect
  • Compassion
  • Trust
  • Forgiveness
  • Hope
  • Aspiration
  • Courage

Autumn 1 – Courage

For Christians ‘having courage’ or ‘strength to carry on’ is linked to faith in God’s promises – promises of God’s presence, protection and power.

Courageous Advocacy: Bravely making the world a better place.

We reflect on the following questions:

  • What helps you to be brave?
  • Where do you find your courage?
  • Who inspires you with courage?
  • If you are facing danger, what objects would you want with you to give you courage?
  • Is there a special song or piece of music that helps you feel brave?

Our main Bible text is David and Goliath 1:Samuel 17:1-54
