Catholic Pupil Profile

At St. Augustine’s we have adopted a way of teaching that follows the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. All schools in the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham are following this method of learning, which is based on eight sets of words, paired together because of their complimentary and harmonising relationship to one another.

Pupils at St. Augustine’s Catholic Primary School are growing to be:

• Grateful for their own gifts, for the gift of other people, and for the blessings of each day; and generous with their gifts, becoming men and women for others.
• Attentive to their experience and to their vocation; and discerning about the choices they make and the effects of those choices.
• Compassionate towards others, near and far, especially the less fortunate; and loving by their just actions and forgiving words.
• Faith-filled in their beliefs and hopeful for the future.
• Eloquent and truthful in what they say of themselves, the relations between people, and the world.
• Learned, finding God in all things; and wise in the ways they use their learning for the common good.
• Curious about everything; and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can for the better.
• Intentional in the way they live and use the resources of the earth, guided by conscience; and prophetic in the example they set to others.

Each half term the whole school will focus on one pair of words; we will spend time reflecting on the meaning of the words; how we see these virtues in action in our lives and in the lives of others and how we can work to encapsulate these virtues in our lives.
