Good Shepherd Primary School

In Good Shepherd we teach British Values within the context of Gospel Values:

 

Dignity of the human person 

 

Respecting, valuing and recognising all people as being made in the image and likeness of God. Therefore: Democracy is explored, lived and experienced through teaching and learning, pupil voice, pupil leadership and extracurricular activities. The Rule of Law Fundamental to Good Shepherd’s understanding of the importance of the Rule of Law, is the greatest command: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind and ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ Luke 10:27 The Christian concept of Law is explored through RE, Gospel Values, Collective Worship and whole school activities. 

 

Liberty 

 

Liberty is explored within the context of Christ’s teaching on morality, freedom to make the right choices and recognise that with freedom comes responsibility. “Do to others as you would have them do to you” – Luke 6:31. 

 

Tolerance of Diverse Beliefs and Values

 

Tolerance of Diverse Beliefs and Values is explored through the understanding of diversity, inclusion and respect for the unique value of each person. Good Shepherd seeks to educate all pupils to be critical thinkers who are seeking truth in a very complex world. We foster open minds and hearts to learn and grow together. Our community is made of a wide variety of families from different faith traditions which reflect the local community and the global church.
