At Caldecote Primary School, we believe that education is about more than academic achievement. Our Character Education programme helps children develop the knowledge, skills and values they need to flourish both in school and beyond.

Through a carefully planned range of experiences, responsibilities and challenges, children progressively develop their character, independence and understanding of the world around them.

Our programme makes full use of our local community and environment, providing opportunities for children to explore nature, contribute to community projects, meet a range of people and experience new challenges beyond the classroom.

Character Education is underpinned by our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience and is closely linked to our curriculum's six big ideas:

Through these experiences, we aim to develop:

• Confident Individuals
• Successful Learners
• Responsible Citizens
• Effective Contributors

Our Character Education programme is a distinctive part of life at Caldecote, ensuring every child leaves us with the character, confidence and compassion to succeed in the next stage of their education and make a positive contribution to society.
