By the time our pupils leave us, they will be kind, caring citizens, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a difference and play an active role in society. Our personal skills are: - To Care - To Reflect - To Collaborate - To Aspire - To be Curious - To Persevere ![](https://shirleyjuniorschool.org/images/Screenshot_2026-05-08_at_12.25.47.png) Find out more about how the personal skills progress at SJS.
