Education continues to prioritise knowledge (the head) and skills (the hand) but is still missing Character values (the heart)!
Our research shows that schools are proud to display their character values. However, there is often a gap between those values and practice.
How confident are we that in our schools, every child is given the opportunity to understand, develop and grow these characters every day?
Research (Pike et al., 2020) shows Character Education significantly improves motivation, behaviour, aspirations, academic achievement and self-efficacy.
That’s why we have developed Character Education – resources to help you understand and grow crucial characters in all your children, every day!
