Good Shepherd is an Olympic Network School! |
|
 On Tuesday 1 March Will Bastin, Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Assistant for London 2012, came to present us with our Get Set Network plaque. We are now one of only five schools in the West Midlands to be awarded this status.
As a school we had to prove our commitment to the Olympic and Paralympic values. We have established an Olympic Committee made up of pupils and staff who are involved in organising events over the next two years which will help us to commit to and live the values of the olympic movement.
We already have Sports Ambassadors who inform us of all the Sports News during our Achievement Assemblies. Connor B, Connor Mc and Milan, in Year 6, were chosen for their love of sport and their sporting attitude when taking part in activities.

 Good Shepherd is a Catholic School and operates under the trust deed of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is a voluntary aided school working in cooperation with the local education authority. Good Shepherd prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive Catholic school which follows a strong moral code rooted in the gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church. The school promotes that everyone is equal but unique in the eyes of God and that all should use their God-given gifts and talents fully. We promote a common sense of belonging, showing children how different communities can be united by common experiences and values.
The school provides a well balanced Curriculum giving all pupils the opportunity to develop their own personal skills and grow in confidence. Good Shepherd has an excellent reputation for its sporting achievements and strives to provide all children with the opportunity to take part in extracurricular activities.
We welcome you to our school and hope that you will enjoy being part of our school community and family.
