Character, Culture and Careers

Character and Culture Education at Littlegreen Academy will give students the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in the modern world.

Character and Culture is a subject through which students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future in an ever-changing society, to think critically and to reflect on their own morals and ethical viewpoints.

These transferable skills and attributes help students to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work beyond the classroom in the modern world.
