  Based on parent, staff, governor and church group feedback, the following Character Virtues have been established for our school community: Compassion, Courage, Community, Curiosity, Gratitude, Motivation, Perseverance and Reflection. Our House Captains have been researching motivational quotes to help underpin each character virtue and these will be voted on by all children. As a next step, we will design a special Character Education Journal as way of promoting and celebrating achievements beyond that of academic success.
