Character Education

Our Character Education is inextricably tied to our mission statement - Let the Light and Splendour of Christ shine from Within Us all. We use this to help us guide students towards being the best version of themselves. For this to be the case, we believe in building character, so that students can be successful at school but also in their communities. We also want this to be the case at future points in all aspects of their lives.

We have 5 core school values which drive our Character Education and which influence our Behaviour and Values Curriculum. These are:

• respect
• love
• service
• integrity
• resilience

We use these values consistently in our messaging about character - in assemblies, in form time Me and You sessions, in our Personal Development curriculum lessons, in our conversations with students, in our communication with families.

Under the value of service, we are very proud of the many contributions our students make to the school community. Whether that is serving as a pupil panelist for staff interviews, as a school representative during Open Evening, as a Sports Leader, a Sports Team captain, Eco Team member or GIFT team member.

We are especially grateful to the Student Council Representatives and the Student Leadership team, who have all been very carefully elected by forms or by staff to their roles. We know that they take these positions seriously, to represent their peers or the school as important leaders. You can find out more about their service and leadership below.
