Distinguishing criteria:

Engaging with the wider world

• The school enables pupils to understand the need to contribute actively to wider society and affords opportunities to develop a commitment to the common good. Such an approach is evident, for example, in community links and service projects, work experience, and in the activity of careers guidance.



• Not only does the school teach justice but it also acts justly, for example, in efforts to recruit, support, and retain pupils from families of limited means, or who require additional learning or other support.



• Whilst the school affirms the basic goodness in human society it also helps pupils to analyse injustices in modern culture critically, and enables them to witness to Christ's presence in that society.
