Moral development of pupils is shown by their ability to recognise the difference between right and wrong and to readily apply this understanding in their own lives, recognising legal boundaries and in doing so, respect the civil and criminal law of England. Children understand the consequences of their behaviour and actions and show an interest in investigating and offering reasoned views about moral and ethical issues, demonstrating an ability to understand and appreciate the viewpoints of others on these issues.

We support our children in this journey in a variety of different ways:

• Our school rules and behaviour blueprint support our children in making the right choices, recognising boundaries and understanding the consequences for not following them. We use recognition boards and daily, weekly and half-termly rewards to support moral development.
• We hold weekly assemblies in which we explore the different British Values and how they impact on our lives. To see an example of an assembly, please click here. 
• We use Picture News resources to discuss and debate around current issues relating to different British Values. To see an example of Picture News, please click here. 
• We develop children’s understanding of rules outside of school, such as Road Safety, through Road Safety Workshops and Bikeability sessions.
• Our comprehensive PSCHE curriculum supports the moral development of our children.
• We have embedded Zones of Regulation throughout the school and children use this to reflect, identifying feelings and enabling them to be in the Green Zone, ready to learn.
• Across school, each class has a Charity and Citizenship drive in order to help understand the different situations that others may face and widen our moral development.
