Our Character Education

We teach our school values through Character Education. At Catherine Infant School we have chosen 19 character words which will be introduced and strengthened throughout the school year. The character words represent positive character attributes that enable pupils to become life-long learners and well-rounded, confident individuals.  The character words are referred to as ‘character muscles’ by pupils and staff as this emphasises that we each possesses a full range of these characteristics and through conscious exercise and focus they can be made stronger.

 

Catherine Infant School’s chosen character muscles are:

 

Resilience        Friendship
  Creativity    Confidence     
Self-esteem   Curiosity   Love of Learning
  Kindness   Courage  
Perseverance   Respect   Motivation
   Teamwork   Optimism  
Appreciation   Enthusiasm   Communication
     Gratitude    Independence
