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):
- 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.
Our stars of the week , awarded every Friday , are chosen because they have gone over and above to demonstrate our school values.
