Individual Liberty

Pupils grow in knowledge and understanding of Individual Liberty by:
 

• Encouraging pupils to be independent learners who make choices about how they learn.
• Giving pupils opportunities to make choices which affect their lives.  
• Supporting pupils to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence e.g. through all areas of teaching and learning in school.
• Encouraging pupils to take responsibility for their behaviours, as well as knowing their rights. Encouraging them to demonstrate the Catholic Social Teaching Principles through their thoughts, words and actions.  
• Challenging stereotypes e.g. through PSHE curriculum and assemblies.
• Implementing a strong anti-bullying culture, as promoted in our policies.
• Encouraging pupils to apply for positions in the Chaplaincy team, Mini Vinnies, School Council, Justice and Peace, Sports Ambassadors.
• Pupils can stand for election and are democratically elected.
• Supporting others by participating in a wide variety of charitable fundraising events such as the Irish Chaplaincy, Harvest or our Advent and Lenten Appeals.
• E-Safety units of work are taught throughout school and parents  receive training on these.
• Parent and teacher surveys completed.
• Pupils gifts and talent celebrated in the newsletter and Achievement Assemblies.
