Catholic Schools Pupil Profile

 

As part of the Archdiocese of Birmingham, we have embraced the Catholic Schools’ Pupil Profile, which teaches our children eight pairs of virtues that enable them to grow as individuals in God's image. 

The virtues are Grateful and generous , Attentive and discerning, Compassionate and loving, Faith-filled and hopeful , Eloquent and truthful , Learned and wise, Curious and active , and Intentional and prophetic.

Grateful for their gifts, for the gift of other people, and the blessings of each day; and generous with their gifts, now and in the future and being generous in the service of others.

Attentive to their experience and vocation; and discerning about the choices they make and the effects of those choices through reflection, decision making, teaching, prayer and retreats; and through the practice and example of school leaders and staff.

Eloquent and truthful in what they say of themselves and the relations between people, and the world. They develop eloquent language which can be used to understand and articulate their emotions, beliefs, and questions. They are encouraged by the example of their teachers to be truthful in how they represent themselves and speak about the world.

Compassionate towards others, near and far, especially the less fortunate, and loving by their just actions and forgiving words.

Faith-filled in their beliefs and hopeful for the future... by passing on the living and faith-filled tradition of Jesus Christ; by having persevering faith in the pupils, and by encouraging them to have faith and hope in themselves and others.

Curious about everything and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can for the better. Children are curious about the universe and all human activity and take increasing responsibility for their own learning through the opportunities provided for them in the life of the school, the Church, and the wider community.
