Character Education

With age appropriate activities at KS1, KS2 and KS3, the resources from The Archbishop of York Trust take children and young people on a journey to explore the character strengths of Courage, Thankfulness, Compassion, Friendship and Hope. Through inspiring stories and practical activities they are encouraged to discover these character strengths in themselves and in others.

The first of these sessions on the theme of Courage is available now and the others will be released over the coming weeks.
