Character Education

At St Ann’s, we aim to develop children’s strength of character. Our dedicated staff lead by example as the ultimate role models, demonstrating the values and behaviours we wish to nurture in every child. Throughout the year, regular worship sessions centre on key personal and learning skills such as growth mindset, resilience to setbacks, positive thinking, moods and attitudes, empathy, and gratitude. To support this important work, we share links to the worship videos along with thoughtful questions in our weekly newsletter, enabling parents to continue these meaningful conversations at home. We warmly encourage a strong partnership between home and school as we work together to help our children grow in character and confidence.

   

Instead of saying...

Try saying...

"I’m not very good at this."

“What am I missing?”

"I’m really good at this."

"I'm working hard at this."

"I give up."

"What strategies have I learnt to help me with this?"

"This is too hard."

“This may take some time and effort.”

"I’ll never be as clever at him/her."

“I’m going to work out how he/she does is so I can do it too.”
