St. Peter’s Gospel Values

At St. Peter’s, our Gospel Values flow directly from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, as revealed in Scripture. These values shape every aspect of our school community and are at the heart of our prayer, liturgy, relationships, and daily practice. They guide us in how we worship together, how we work together, and how we play together, ensuring that Christ remains present in all we do. Each Gospel Value has also been purposefully linked to an individual or organisation whose life or work reflects the Gospel in a tangible way.

∙ Fairness – Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks showed extraordinary courage by standing up (by sitting down) for fairness and equality. Her peaceful defiance against racial injustice is a powerful reminder that everyone is created equal in the eyes of God. Through her example, children learn the importance of justice, respect and standing up for what is right.

∙ Integrity – Sir David Attenborough
Sir David Attenborough models integrity through his lifelong dedication to truth, environmental protection and responsible stewardship of creation. His work encourages our children to act with honesty, courage and moral purpose – qualities that align deeply with Catholic Social Teaching about caring for God’s world.

∙ Kindness – British Red Cross

The British Red Cross embodies kindness through its commitment to supporting people in crisis, both locally and globally. Their work demonstrates compassion, empathy and the belief that every person deserves care and dignity. This helps our children see how kindness can transform lives and bring hope in difficult times.

∙ Peace – Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela spent his life working towards peace, reconciliation and forgiveness. His ability to seek unity over division, even after suffering injustice, shows our pupils that true peace requires courage, patience and compassion. He exemplifies Christ’s call to be peacemakers.

∙ Service – Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa devoted her life to serving the poorest and most vulnerable, seeing Christ in every person she encountered. Her selfless love and humility offer a profound example of Gospel service. Through her, children learn that serving others is a central expression of faith.
