Character Development

We aim to educate our young people by providing them with a wealth of opportunities, both inside the classroom and beyond the classroom. Our goal is to enable all our students to develop a strong moral code so that they are able to take their place as active citizens, ready to contribute positively to their communities and the wider world around them. We aim to ensure that our students develop into virtuous, confident, and compassionate young adults, who are effective contributors to society, successful learners, and responsible citizens. We encourage our students to develop a commitment to serving others, to participate in a wide range of activities (both in and outside school), to develop the ability to lead others and of course, the skills to effectively learn.

We aim to develop Character through a variety of approaches including:

Our school virtues
An ambitious curriculum for all.
PSHE and HRSE
Assemblies
Chaplaincy
The St Benedict’s School Challenges for KS3
A co – curriculum which includes a wide range of activities including artistic, creative, performance, sporting, debating, challenge, team and individual etc. so all pupils can both discover new interests and develop existing ones
