Our CAST School's Gospel Values

All of the schools in Plymouth CAST share the same Gospel values as it unites us as an academy and creates a similar vision for our schools. Each term, we explore the meaning of these values through group discussions, images and poetry. They stem from Matthew's Gospel when he explains Jesus teaching to the apostles about the greatest values and blessings, commonly called The Beatitudes. At our school, each class is a guardian of one of these values. They are:
Kindness, Forgiveness, Humility, Peace, Courage, Integrity, Compassion, Justice
 
'CAMPAIGNING FOR CHANGE'  - Pupil voice

Request by Blake in Year 3

Blake has noticed that a lot of stationary car drivers leave their engines on at drop off and pick up times. He has noted that the fumes are unhealthy and make his walking and cycling arrival journey at school quite unpleasant. Let’s help Blake and the other children by turning off engines at these times so that the children can have clear, healthy air to greet their arrival at school.
