Values Curriculum
The recent white paper Educational Excellence Everywhere states that the Gov-
ernment is set on: “Building character and resilience in every child” It continues
by stating that:
‘A 21st century education should prepare children for adult life by instilling
the character traits and fundamental British values that will help them suc-
ceed: being resilient and knowing how to persevere, how to bounce back if
faced with failure, and how to collaborate with others at work and in their
private lives.’
