# Virtues and Values

## Catholic Schools Pupil Profile

![](https://stjonmon.bham.sch.uk/images/Catholic_School_Profile.gif)

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 their choices and their effects 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.

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

**They are curious** about everything and **actively engage** 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 learning through the opportunities provided in the life of the school, the Church, and the wider community.
