Compassion
This means resolution, resolve, willpower. “Stand firm, and you will win life” (Luke 21:19)
This means regard highly, value, honour. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31)
This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth" (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ”(Romans 12:5)
This means having a deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering. “When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things" (Mark 6:34)
Democracy
Democracy
Our children are encouraged to debate topics of interest, express their views and make meaningful contributions during lessons. The children are also involved in making whole school decisions using the school council. The Mayor of Camden visits each year to open the voting process. Pupils are involved in democratic processes, for example voting for school council members, house captains and librarians. The principle of democracy is explored in the curriculum as well as during assemblies and whole school study weeks e.g. equality study week. Our school behaviour policy involves giving rewards which the pupils have discussed for: individuals, groups, house teams and classes. The children also have the opportunity to have their voices heard through pupil surveys.
