We teach these virtues at St Teresa’s so that they become a habit, in the same way that we teach our school rules, they become a second nature to our children. These virtues are common across all of the schools in our Trust and simply become ‘the way we behave’. By being very clear to our children about the reasons that we act out these virtues we hope to build a community based on our common virtues that are all firmly grounded in our Catholic faith. Virtues build ethos, our ethos is what makes our school unique to us.
