It’s our belief that everyone has the power to change the world for the better. To this end, we know that all of our pupils and our whole school community can be courageous advocates of change.
Our deeply embedded Christian vision drives the community towards actively championing justice and responsibility. By living our values, (including love, community, generosity and justice) and promoting them across the curriculum, we empower children to be brave in advocating for equality. Through pupil-led advocacy projects, children are empowered to speak against injustice and take tangible actions, fostering ethical leadership and a sense of responsibility. Safe spaces for dialogue on justice issues are created through the Philosophy curriculum and collective worship, motivating children to act compassionately and make a positive impact. Celebrating instances of ethical leadership and supporting pupil-led initiatives further reinforces a culture that encourages social justice and advocacy.
Examples of this include: our Worship Council raising enough funds to provide a whole village in Malawi with stoves and our School council leading fundraising for Disasters Emergency Committee following natural disaster in Syria and Turkey. Each class also chooses a charity to support through our Enterprise week and children and show compassion and empathy when they explain the rationale for their choices. Children demonstrate pride in being able to make the world a better place through their advocacy.
East Morton School’s Christian-rooted vision profoundly influences its culture and the impact is beyond the school, and beyond their primary school years- our children learn to be positively contributing citizens.
