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 |
