Moral development at Ellwood is achieved by:
- Providing a clear moral code for behaviour which is promoted consistently through all aspects of the school e.g. Behaviour Policy; our class Rules; School Council Assemblies, School Values
- Promoting racial, religious and other forms of equality (Racial, Inclusion, Equal Opportunities, SEN policies)
- Giving pupils opportunities to explore and develop moral concepts and values throughout the curriculum e.g. truth, justice, equality of opportunity, right and wrong (PSHE; RE; History; English; Assembly; Drama; School Council; Community Police officer visits)
- Developing an open and safe learning environment in which pupils can express their views and practise moral decision making (School Council; Drama; Safeguarding policy & practice)
- Rewarding expressions of moral insights and good behaviour (Celebration Assembly; behaviour charts; house points; Roles of responsibility e.g. roles in class, buddies, playground monitors )
- Modelling through the quality of relationships and interactions the principles we wish to promote e.g. fairness, integrity, respect for persons, pupil welfare, respect for minority interests, resolution of conflict keeping promises and contracts. (Whole school events; Celebration Assemblies; Assembly themes)
- Recognising and respecting different cultural groups represented in the school and the wider community. (Celebration of religious festivals in RE and assemblies)
- Encouraging children to take responsibility for their actions e.g. respect for property, care of the environment and code of behaviour (Behaviour Policy; school values, Class Rules, Assembly themes)
- Providing models of moral standards through the curriculum (English; History; RE; PSHE; Assembly; Drama)
Food bank
We collected food for the food bank in our Harvest festival and donated 122.65kg of food. We really try hard to help people in our local community.
In PSHE/Life skills lessons we learn a lot about making the right choices, being kind and following rules. We work together to come up with solutions and we enjoy learning about of school values. All of our values link to our moral development.
