Truthfulness
Christian Basis
As Christians, we believe that truth is revealed in the Bible and supremely in the person and life of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus’ teaching we are given an insight into the nature of God and the way in which He means us to live.
We should consider the following questions: How does the school encourage all members of the school community to be truthful in their dealings with one another? How far does the school help pupils to understand that life is about a search for truth and meaning? How does the school community understand the concept of being true to oneself? (i.e. standing up for one’s beliefs) Does the school equip children to make informed moral choices?
Jesus said ‘I am the way the truth and the life’ John 14 v6
