The Character Award is a yearly project for our Year 8 students. The FRIARY Ethic reflects key values that are important for our students to show and develop throughout their time at the Friary School: Friendship, Responsibility, Independence, Aspiration, Resilience, You.
Indeed, The Friary Ethic is a key driver in our curriculum as we work to prepare children for not just exams, but wider life and general society.
The Year 8 programme sees students complete a portfolio demonstrating how they have developed these skills and the assignments acting as a bridging unit of core skills before they head into the final stages towards their Key Stage Four Pathways.
The current Year 8 are already working on their portfolios, but we also wanted to celebrate those Year 8 students who did so well last academic year.
The awards are judged on their quality and are graded Gold, Silver and Bronze and the following accreditations were attained:

In addition, there will be ‘Special Recognition’ awards announced in September’s formal Prize Giving Awards Evening
Jamie Sleigh, Head of Seward House and Character Award Co-Ordinator, said: “The work produced by our Year 8s was fantastic to see, a lot of students provided evidence on events in school, for example Schools Shows, Sports Teams, Battle of the Bands and many more. However, the standout pieces of evidence were where students are showing their tutors their hobbies or further commitments outside of school and doing things to help others. We have great students in school and I’m looking forward to seeing what next year’s cohort produce.”
