About

Our aims in creating the Jesuit Pupil Profile (JPP) are:

-

To propose a simple but challenging statement of the qualities we seek to develop in pupils in Jesuit schools, using keywords which unfold Ignatius' own stated aim of "improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good."

-

To produce a profile that describes the whole process of Jesuit education (from age 3 or 5 or 11 or 17 - the common ages of entry into our schools in Britain) rather than that of a school leaver.

What is the

Jesuit Pupil Profile?

The JPP proposes eight pairs of virtues that sum up what a pupil in a Jesuit school is growing to be.

Alongside the pupil profile itself, we have developed a parallel statement of what a Jesuit school does to help its pupils grow in the virtues listed in the JPP.

Pupils in a Jesuit school are growing to be . . .

-

Grateful for their own gifts, for the gift of other people, and for the blessings of each day; and generous with their gifts, becoming men and women for others.

-

Attentive to their experience and to their vocation; and discerning about the choices they make and the effects of those choices.

-

Compassionate towards others, near and far, especially the less fortunate; and loving by their just actions and forgiving words.

-

Faith-filled in their beliefs and hopeful for the future.

-

Eloquent and truthful in what they say of themselves, the relations between people, and the world.

-

Learned, finding God in all things; and wise in the ways they use their learning for the common good.

-

Curious about everything; and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can for the better.

-

Intentional in the way they live and use the resources of the earth, guided by conscience; and prophetic in the example they set to others.
