School Values - The Six Pillars of Character
What is Character?
A person of Character ….
- is a good person, someone to look up to and admire
- knows the difference between right and wrong and tries to do what is right
- sets a good example for everyone
- makes the world a better place
At Marden Lodge we follow The Six Pillars of Character, a framework for teaching good character which is composed of six ethical values (characteristics) everyone can agree upon:
- Trustworthiness;
- Respect;
- Responsibility;
- Fairness;
- Caring;
- Citizenship.
Each of the six character traits are used to help instill a positive learning environment for the children and staff and a “culture of kindness” making Marden Lodge a safe environment for ALL to learn.
