The Character Development Award offers children a unique opportunity to develop the confidence to think independently and make positive, well-informed decisions.
The award is integrated into the school day, with two-hour sessions held consistently each week throughout the academic year. Whenever possible, sessions take place outdoors, with a kinaesthetic approach to learning. Each student receives their own personal learning journal, and the programme concludes in a memorable graduation ceremony at the end of the year.

What effect does it have?
Example of a 2 hour session
Check in
In the classroom with pupils completing the beginning of their reflective journal.
This vital part of the session allows pupils to consider how they are feeling and share with the instructor and the class. This provides a great foundation to build relationships between pupils and the instructor, but also to take the time to think about how they are actually feeling. The opportunity to reflect on their previous week often leads to a feeling of appreciation of the opportunities they have had that they hadn’t considered before.
Icebreaker & front load
Pupils taken outside for the majority of the session where possible.
An activity which usually involves mixing friends groups up, raising the heart rate and allowing pupils to enjoy the fun task. This sets the tone for the main activities.
Main activities
Outside (inside if weather isn’t suitable).
Usually 2 activities will be planned focusing on the weeks key qualities. Activities will be stopped and reflected on during, and after each one.
Reflection & Check out
Back in the classroom.
Pupils will reflect on the session and the qualities they have used, why they were important and how they can be transferred from the classroom to everyday life. The journals will be completed and the instructor will check how pupils are feeling before closing the session.
