CHARACTER EDUCATION AT MARLBOROUGH HOUSE

“ Educating ‘ characters ’ can have an extraordinary effect on a pupil ’ s overall academic achievement , creative fulfilment and social confidence ” Catherine Walker , Head of PSHE , Marlborough House

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY CHARACTER EDUCATION ?

It is more important than ever that we are developing in our children key qualities and virtues , in order to instil the strength and resilience required to enable them to thrive in tomorrow ’ s busy world of change and opportunity .
For a child to go on and flourish , and be able to meet life ’ s challenges with confidence and optimism , they need to be happy in their own skin and aware of themselves as learners .
Our well established Character Education at Marlborough House helps children to develop virtues and practical wisdom that will serve them long after they leave us for Senior School . It is the reason why children at Marlborough House can achieve impressive academic results and scholarships , alongside gaining the building blocks of life skills .
With widespread endorsement from Senior Schools and parents , Character Education is an integrated part of our whole school curriculum . These values are further embodied through the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate ( PSB ), our skills-based framework built upon character and learning virtues , fit for the 21st century .
