Our Virtues 

The virtues we strive to live by at St John Fisher Catholic Academy are:

• Attentiveness – Listening carefully, being present, and truly understanding others and our faith.

• Compassion – Showing kindness and empathy to everyone, especially those in need.

• Gratitude – Appreciating the gifts we have and expressing thankfulness in word and action.

• Perseverance – Staying committed and resilient, even when challenges arise.

• Responsibility – Taking ownership of our actions and contributing positively to our community.

• Self-control – Managing our emotions and behaviour with maturity and respect for others.

We believe that virtues, much like good habits, become a natural part of our students’ lives through teaching, encouragement, and example. By clearly explaining why these virtues matter and how to live them out, we aim to build a community grounded in shared values and faith; a community where these virtues shape not just behaviour, but character.  Our virtues are woven through every part of school life including collective worship, personal development programme and faith in action' activities.
