Gospel Values and Virtues

As part of our Religious Education Curriculum we are focusing on the Gospel Values and Virtues which have been introduced by the Diocesan Education Department. The Virtues are the terms we use to promote character building with our pupils. Each half term, the children develop their understanding of two new virtues and strive to apply these to their everyday lives.

Pupils at St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary school in the Archdiocese of Birmingham are following the table below over the next few years:

As part of the focus on two new virtues each half term, the children have the opportunity to write how they have applied these virtues onto a leaf and display it on their classroom Virtues Tree. Also children from each class are also nominated for a virtues certificate when they have demonstrated these virtues in school.
