Alongside the taught element of character education, we must seek out new experiences for our students. Sought opportunities can be both academic and non-academic.
At Colmore we have specific elements of our PPA that allow us to identify and plan opportunities with upcoming lessons, to pause and discuss the morality or value that we think is important.
Assemblies are also used to celebrate the achievements of others for doing what is morally and ethically positive.
Trips away and visitors to school provide opportunities to engage with the local and wider community. Pupils can learn what contribution or service other people make and why this is morally the right thing for society to engage with.
Using the building blocks model, it is possible to find a place to start - use the moral virtue section to build some opportunities in to your daily, weekly, monthly practice.
