πŸ† Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Adrian into school to launch our Champions of Character Club, part of an exciting project linked to the University of Birmingham.

⚽ The programme uses sport as a powerful vehicle to help young people develop key character strengths, including moral, civic, intellectual and performance character. Through participation, reflection and teamwork, pupils will have the opportunity to build valuable skills and qualities that will support them both in school and beyond.

🌟 We are excited to see the positive impact this programme will have on our young people and look forward to following their progress over the coming weeks!
