Alongside the taught element of character education, we must seek out new experiences for our students. The sought opportunities are 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 cover moral virtue every week. Celebrate the achievements of others for doing what is morally and ethically positive.
