The Virtues Award recognises character through purposeful action. Children complete a range of objectives, including a community project such as baking for care-home residents, first-aid training designed for pupils, and an independent academic project beyond their usual schoolwork that allows them to share a personal interest. The award celebrates kindness, courage, perseverance, curiosity and contribution, helping pupils understand that achievement is not measured only through academic or sporting success. It gives children meaningful ways to develop skills, serve others and take pride in their personal growth.
