At King’s we place our ASPIRE values at the heart of everything we do. This Learning Cycle we will focus on our value of SELF AWARENESS. We will discuss what it means to be self aware with our actions, motives and beliefs. We will relate this to our strengths and weaknesses alongside looking at how the outside world functions in comparison to our world. We will encourage students to be self aware about their feelings and mental health. We will also look at pressures and how to be aware of influence. Every year group has a lesson a week in Character – here we look at Personal, Social, Moral and Economic (PSHE) areas. For example, the topics covered this Learning Cycle include; Year 7 – Being self aware of how I can be influenced; Understanding different faiths and radicalisation. Online safety and fake news. Year 8 – Being self aware of the impact of my choices; The rule of law and risky behaviours. Year 9 – Being self aware of my mental health; knowing and understanding who I am, gender stereotypes, looking after my health/thoughts and resilience. Year 10 – Being self aware of my wellbeing; sexual health and intimacy, anxiety and stress. Year 11 – Being self aware of my overall health; cancer, NHS services, drugs and legal highs. Year 12&13 – Being self aware in the outside world; Social action, feminism and tolerance. Topics we will also discuss in assemblies include; 1) Mutual Respect and Remembrance 2) Self Aware with others; Anti Bullying Month. 3) World Religions 4) Being aware of my future; What is my flight path?
How can people support our Character focus? Discuss the topics above around the dinner table. What do you all know? Don't hesitate to ask in school if you want to know more! Encourage each other to show the values – for students that could mean completing your Character Passport (Y7/8) or Duke of Edinburgh Awards. ff any parents have a field of expertise, through your job or studies, and you would like to support Character at King’s please contact n.burrows@kingswarrington.com Our Character curriculum can be found on our website but if you would like to see more of our teaching resources please contact r.hannah@kingswarrington.com
