DfE Character Awards open for second year
The Department for Education (DfE) has launched its Character Awards for the second consecutive year, seeking to ‘identify, recognise and celebrate those leading the field in character education’.
The awards were first introduced in 2015 and support the government’s initiative to ensure that character is encouraged, nurtured and developed alongside academic rigour.
The government outlines the key character traits as: how to persevere and work to achieve; to understand the importance of respect and how to show it to others; how to bounce back if faced with failure; and how to collaborate and build strong relationships with others at work and in their private lives.
It claims that developing these traits will enable pupils to ‘make a positive contribution to British society’ and be valued by employers.
Schools are being invited to apply for the awards on the Teaching Awards website.
