At Stanton Road, we believe in preparing our children to be well-rounded citizens of the future. Children who are well-prepared in their understanding of both their role and the core values of being a good citizen within their own community and wider society.

Throughout their educational journey at Stanton Road, children learn the basic rules and skills for keeping themselves healthy and safe and for behaving well. They have opportunities to show they can take some responsibility for themselves and their environment. They begin to learn about their own and other people's feelings and become aware of the views, needs and rights of other children, people within the community and older people.

As members of a class and school community, children learn social skills such as how to share, take turns, play, help others, resolve simple arguments and resist bullying. They begin to take an active part in the life of our school and our community.

These key aspects of learning how to be a good citizen are inter-woven into different aspects of school life, including:

• Character Values

• Charitable Work

• Local care home visits

• Community Engagement

• Careers

• PSHE/RSE learning

• School visits and wider learning opportunities

• School behaviour expectations and learning habits

• Visitors to school

• Family events and celebrations
