Character Plans
In a significant shake up to our curriculum, classes will now follow the journeys of famous heroes, adventurers and explorers as they travel back in time and all over the world.
While learning about specific times and places, pupils will also be working on developing their own ‘character’ so that they become more resilient, empathetic, self-aware, positive learners, who work collaboratively, using effective communication skills, and can celebrate their own excellence.
Pupils’ achievements will be celebrated with certificates to take home, as they complete the missions.
