To ensure Christian Values are at the forefront of each pupil’s mind, we formed an Ethos Group. Our Christian Values drive everything we do at LSJ and are embedded throughout school.
What is an Ethos Group?
· Supports our school in developing our Christian distinctiveness
· It promotes our Christian values:
· We report to governors on what we have thought about and discussed
· We work with other adults to develop positive working relationships
The Ethos Group aims:
· To lead collective worship
· Help children understand our Christian values
· Develop reflective spaces in school
· Help to evaluate collective worship
· Listen to suggestions about how we can improve collective worship
· To further improve collective worship in our school
There are lots of articles about Ellie, especially about her swimming success. Ellie shows love in lots of different ways especially through smiling! Ellie smiles even if she doesn’t win the race; even if she loses she is still happy for her competitors. So what we can learn from Ellie is to smile even when we don’t feel like smiling because it shows an act of kindness and love.
