This means resolution, resolve, willpower. “Stand firm and you will save yourselves” (Luke 21:19)
This means regard highly, value, honour. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31)
This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ” (Romans 12:5)
This means having strong moral principles e.g. honesty, decency, fairness, equality; having pure and balanced moral character. Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8)
This means having a deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering. When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things." (Mark 6:34)

What our teachers tell us about their experience of our school
I think that I have become a more explicit and more expert teacher since working at St Eugene's. The staff training we have had shows a clear and explicit way of teaching. This has now become my classroom practice.
The coaching model at St Eugene's means that I am being supported to develop my skills all of the time as a teacher, both in subject knowledge but also in pedagogy. I have never really had training in pedagogy (how to teach) before I came to this school. The coaching is practical, detailed and helpful.
It is a wonderful place to work and everyone is pulling together as a team to work with the children's best interests at heart.
There is a brilliantly positive and welcoming atmosphere at this school. Everyone who works here from the head to the teaching assistants is passionate about education and really cares about the children.
The staff are a lovely, supportive group of people to work with.
I am happy with the lovely children in my class and the support given by the school. There is always careful thinking about teacher workload and realistic expectations.
I am happy with how much l am learning and growing as an educator. I feel I am gaining expertise and experience that will prepare me for a future career in education.
