CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

READY TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL

As a school, we strive for every pupil to achieve their very best in terms of academic achievement, but also firmly believe that education should develop children’s character and wellbeing, inspire a love of learning and culture, create a curiosity about the world and people around them and prepare them for life.

For these reasons, we encourage all our pupils, from Nursery to Year 11, to participate in our character development programme, the “Wellesley Award”, attend school pupil voice groups and take part in competitions and accreditations.

THE WELLESLEY AWARD

Through participation in a wide range of enrichment opportunities, we aspire to develop fulfilled, well-rounded, happy children who are resilient, motivated and thoughtful young people with bright and exciting futures.

PERSONAL CHARACTER BUILDING

Develop a set of attitudes, skills and behaviours such as self-control, self-belief, confidence, determination, ambition, resourcefulness, tolerance, adaptability, connectivity, empathy and resilience.

These skills will help your child work well with others, build relationships, manage emotions, cope with difficult situations and respond to setbacks.

CITIZENSHIP

Nurture a sense of social responsibility to the school, others and the greater community with the desire to be responsible, tolerant and informed citizens.

CREATIVE EXPRESSION

Inspire your child to explore the arts through drama, art and music; sparking creativity and helping your child to connect to their emotional self.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING

Encourage happy and healthy mindsets, preparing your child to learn and grow into responsible, well balanced adults who can manage the stresses of school, life and work.
