Pope Francis' Action Team (School Council)

The Pope Francis Action Team

The Pope Francis Team was created in response to our Building the Kingdom Initiative. The School Council had expressed their concerns which stemmed from Pope Francis' call to care for creation and love of neighbour. It was decided to amalgamate the School Prefect System with the School Council in order to better respond to this. The Motto for the Pope Francis Team is "How can we make this world a better place for all of God's children?"

Another change that has emerged out of the Pope Francis Team is the rewards assembly. The focus is on how the children have made a difference to themselves, others in the class or in the community. The children nominate their peers and this is acknowledged at the Friday Assembly.

Our Pope Francis Action Team is made up of Pupils who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and to improve their school.

Each year, every class will elect 2 representatives a boy and a girl to be members of the Pope Francis Action Team. The Action Team will then meet to elect officers such as Chair and Secretary.

Shared Values

As a Catholic School, we are led by our Gospel Values. We understand that British Values have their roots in the Western Christian Tradition and share much with other traditions across the world. In addition to this, we believe that the Christian Virtues are able to unite all who make up modern British Society; this includes people of all races, languages, gender, people of all faith traditions and people of no faith.
