Virtues
The Diocese of Leeds introduced a two year cycle of "Virtues to Live By" to improve an appreciation of their role in 'the flourishing of the whole person.'
At St Patrick's, we focus on a number of these Virtues in order to deepen the childrens' understanding and appreciation of the role they play in creating children of God. Scripture readings and activities for home are shared with families on the newsletter each week.
Hymns are selected to deepen the understanding of the Virtues, and the children in each class in KS2 vote each week for the child who has best lived out the Virtue that week.
