How does Social Justice and Responsibility run through the Curriculum and link to our Vision?
At our school, we understand “living life in all its fullness” (John 10:10) as nurturing a life where everyone can flourish. It is not only about personal growth and achievement, but also about helping others to thrive.
Social justice and responsibility are woven throughout our curriculum and school life. Through their learning, pupils come to see that fullness of life involves compassion, fairness, and active care for others and the world around them.
Social Justice:
Through learning about social justice, pupils explore fairness, equality, and respect for all people. The curriculum encourages pupils to recognise injustice and act with integrity and courage. By exploring themes such as equality and human rights students are empowered to make ethical choices and advocate for others — living out fullness through compassion and service.
They learn that fullness of life is not just about personal happiness but about helping others to flourish too — following Jesus’ example of love and service.
Example: Studying the lives of people who worked for justice (like Rosa Parks or William Wilberforce) inspires pupils to stand up for what is right and to value every human being.
Responsibility:
Teaching responsibility helps children understand that living life in all its fullness is not only about caring for themselves but for others, and the world God has created. Through learning responsibility, children discover purpose, belonging, and the joy of contributing positively to their community — key aspects of a full and flourishing life.
Example: Eco projects, fundraising for global charities, or participating in community initiatives show pupils how responsibility leads to shared fullness of life.
