Our character curriculum instills values that promote positive interactions, reduce conflicts, and foster a sense of community. It prepares children to make the right choices, even in difficult situations. Our character curriculum is crucial for supporting a harmonious and inclusive society, where children can thrive and make a positive contribution to their communities.

‍

By the end of their time at The Belham, children will be kind, caring and confident. They will have experienced lessons that help develop their character and support their development and understanding of:

• the relationship between effort now and pay off towards long term goals
• the importance of a moral standard in interpersonal relationships
• how to develop their social confidence

‍

At The Belham we ensure:

• That all pupils, regardless of ability, are provided with consistent  learning experiences that lead to consistently excellent levels of pupil achievement 
• That a positive, caring attitude, where achievements at all levels are acknowledged and valued, is prevalent throughout the school 
• That all pupils, from the earliest opportunity, are encouraged to develop independence, self-discipline, responsibility and the ability to build resilience 
• That a shared sense of purpose amongst pupils, staff and parents is fostered from the very start
• That all children and adults are respected, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic background or ability
• That learning should not be constrained to the classroom and that we make use of our wider community (such as our school garden) as a classroom
