Our Ten Moral Virtues
Our academy is founded on ten virtues, which are at the heart of our culture at Ark Boulton. We believe these virtues are important in developing character, and have a positive impact on achievement. Students will understand the meanings of virtues and practise them until they become habit. They will be able to apply them in their daily lives and be better able to navigate moral and ethical dilemmas so that they can identify themselves as virtuous people. Students will learn how to make practical, wise decisions for a successful life. Virtues will prepare our students for life in modern Britain so they can be caring, compassionate citizens committed to shaping and improving society.
Our Performance Virtues
These virtues are based on the ability to self-manage so that we can be virtuous role models to siblings and family members, contribute to running a home and bring skill to our communities. They are character traits that have an instrumental value in enabling the intellectual, moral and civic virtues.
