To promote the sense that St Paul’s Juniors is part of a wider local and global community and encourage an awareness and understanding of the needs and circumstances of other people. Values St Paul’s Juniors has a set of Core Values, which interpret the overarching values of the senior school in ways that are appropriate to the younger age of the St Paul’s Juniors pupils, and which are central to the life and ethos of the school. Kindness and mutual respect The cornerstone of our core values. When consulting pupils, parents and staff, kindness was consistently chosen as the most important attribute of the school community. Integrity Integrity is another of the school’s core values. We want our pupils to choose what’s right over what is simply easy. Humility We aim to foster humility in our pupils – a realism about being a small part of a greater whole, and an appreciation that we can all learn from those whose experiences have been different to our own. Scholarship At the heart of our school culture is a commitment to academic excellence; we encourage pupils to make the most of a dynamic and stimulating curriculum that ignites imagination, challenges and inspires a lifelong love of learning. Curiosity Probing and thoughtful questions come thick and fast at St Paul’s Juniors. We value curiosity: How does that work? Where did that theory come from? Why do people think…? What’s the purpose of…? Perseverance The value of perseverance encourages us all to keep on trying when success is not immediate, and to accept that we may need to tweak our approach to achieve the goal.
