ST@R Character Curriculum

Physical Health and Wellbeing

Mental Health and Wellbeing

British Values and Protected Characteristics

At St Richard's, we recognise that our children are ST@Rs who are bursting with talent and ready to shine. Our aim is to unlock the potential of every child, empowering them to know more, remember more and do more as they journey through our enabling school.

We achieve this through not only our academic curriculum, but through exceptional personal development too. This is underpinned by our ST@R Character Curriculum where we focus on ensuring that children are exposed to a wide range of experiential learning opportunities that will develop their cultural capital and give them an advantage in later life.

Our ST@R Character Curriculum encompasses both the taught PSHE and RSE curriculum, our ST@R values, British Values and protected characteristics as well as our 6 threads of personal development:

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Physical Health and Wellbeing

Raising Aspirations

Performing Arts

Global Awareness

Pupil Leadership

As a school, we place a high emphasis on preparing children for their futures beyond St Richard’s. As part of this, each week we focus upon a different ST@R Quality.

These qualities are brought to life through connections to National and International events and inspirational individuals. Explicit links are also made to British Values and the protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act (2010).

We believe this helps the children, over time, to develop a deeper understanding of how to embody these qualities and recognise their own place in British Society.
