## Character Education

---

At Longmoor, we believe that who our children become is just as important as what they achieve. Through our approach to **Character Education**, we nurture kind, confident, respectful individuals who are ready to contribute positively to the world around them.

### Our Core Values - We've Got DRIVE:

At the heart of our school ethos are our five core values. These guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and define what it means to be a member of the Longmoor Family:

- **Determination** - We work hard, keep going, and never give up on our goals.
- **Respect** - We treat ourselves, others, and our world with kindness and care.
- **Integrity** - We do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
- **Valour** - We show courage, take risks, and rise to challenges with confidence.
- **Excellence** - We strive to be the very best we can be in all that we do.

These values are woven into every part of school life - not laminated posters on the wall, but lived experiences that shape the adults our children are becoming.

### How We Build Character at Longmoor:

- **Outdoor learning and residential visits** challenge children to grow in independence, resilience and teamwork.
- **Pupil leadership roles**, including School Council, Eco Warriors, Reading Buddies, Early Learning Friends, Play Leaders and Prefects empower pupils to lead with integrity and voice.
- **Class meetings and assemblies** provide space for reflection, sharing, and values-led discussion based on current affairs.
- **The WISH Curriculum** makes personal development explicit - promoting global awareness, emotional literacy and social responsibility.
- **WISH Focus Days** help us deepen our exploration of values in action.
- **Recognition and celebration** - we proudly spotlight pupils who embody DRIVE, whether through attitude, behaviour or acts of kindness.

**Good moral character is not something we can achieve on our own. We need a culture that supports the conditions under which self-love and friendship flourish** - *Aristotle*
