• Character development- civic character virtues of service, citizenship, volunteering. Moral character virtues of courage, self-discipline, compassion, gratitude, justice, humility, honesty. Performance character virtues of resilience, determination, creativity.
• British Values – Within the Fundamental British Values aspects of the curriculum pupils are able to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law of England as well as accepting responsibility for their behaviour, showing initiative, and understanding how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely. Through this we embrace the following 4 strands integral to Fundamental British Values:
• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
• Social, moral, spiritual and cultural development- We recognise and firmly believe that the development of pupils, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally plays a significant part not only in their ability to learn and achieve but in their ability to relate fully to, and have the ability to, access the world they live in.
• Personal, Social, Health and Economic and Sex and Relationship Education -The three main strands of this aspect are:
• Health and Wellbeing
• Relationships
• Living in the Wider World
