What teachers and pupils say:

The Common Good Schools programme encourages pupils and teachers to join with their community in a really positive way.

K.Gold, Cardinal Heenan Catholic High, Leeds

It has been a joy to be using the Common Good School programme and would highly recommend it to other church schools. It supports our SIAMS requirements as a school to develop Christian Character and serve our local community.

Rev Susy Dand, Chaplain, Bishop Ramsey School, Ruislip

The programme has enhanced our Personal Development curriculum for students, providing them with a deeper appreciation of church social teaching and an authentic understanding of the human person. All of this has made a significant contribution to the Catholic life of the school.

Paul Dunne, Headteacher of St John Bosco College, Battersea

We would highly recommend the CGS programme to any church school as it supports our school ethos and the wider ethos of Church schools. Our learners enjoy the varied activities and it offers them a key opportunity to develop their 'talk for life' skills.

Musenga Mumbi, Teacher, St Marylebone CE The Bridge School (SEND), London

In a diverse school with a Christian identity, Common Good Schools is enabling us to work for greater unity with pupils of different ethnicities, religions and cultures. It is a great vehicle for bridging difference and promoting unity!

Miles Rimmer-Tagoe, Chaplain, St Francis of Assisi Academy, Liverpool

The Common Good Schools training was practical and inspiring. It made you so keen to help students put their faith into action and begin the programme to build the Common Good!

Common Good Schools is such a useful tool to help students understand that they are valued, they are of worth, and they can make a difference to the world around them. It takes social teaching principles and turns them into concepts they can easily grasp and live out.

Kasia Boydell, Chaplain, Hope Academy, Newton-le-Willlows

After my experience [of Common Good Schools] I will definitely be getting more involved in the community.

I have found it a great opportunity to meet amazing and kind people and hear very inspiring stories. It has improved my social confidence and I will definitely continue the experience.

Year 7 pupil

I have found it easier to connect with other people.

Year 8 pupil

[CGS] made me realise that everyone should be treated the same and given the same opportunities no matter if they have disabilities or not.”

Pupil whose school regularly visits a school for children with SEND

It gave me more leadership skills.

Pupii, Cardinal Heenan, Leeds

I’ve literally had people repair their friendship in my CGS lessons.
