Schools, colleges and organisations are invited to submit proposals to a £3.5 million grant fund to support projects in character education.
From today (12 January 2015), schools, colleges and organisations can apply to a £3.5 million character education grant fund to support projects in character education.
We are committed to helping schools ensure that more children develop a set of character traits, attributes and behaviours that underpin success in education and work, such as:
perseverance, resilience and grit
confidence and optimism
motivation, drive and ambition
neighbourliness and community spirit
tolerance and respect
honesty, integrity and dignity
conscientiousness, curiosity and focus
Character is already being encouraged and developed alongside academic rigour through a variety of programmes in and outside schools and colleges across the country. Character education aims to allow pupils to emerge from education better equipped to thrive in modern Britain.
Through £3.5 million of grant funding, we want to encourage expansion of existing projects that demonstrate effective character education. The funding will also support new and innovative projects to develop promising approaches in this area.
