Academic learning goes hand in hand with character building at Middlemarch.
Central to our approach is the acronym TRAITS:
To enable pupils to understand the requirements of each key trait, character building ‘muscles’ are linked to each letter and covered throughout the year in our lessons and assemblies.
Four characteristics are focused upon, although not exclusively in each half-term. They are displayed in every classroom and used in split screen learning objectives, where appropriate, to encourage individuals to be aware of character development as well as curriculum understanding.
