Personal Character Development
The Harmony Pledge
The Harmony Trust Pledge is our commitment to giving all our pupils the best education. They deserve an education that involves many and different opportunities to develop their skills and learning. Meeting each of the 10 points of The Harmony Pledge will not only broaden their experiences and aspirations, but will enable them to become a lifelong learner where they can always BELIEVE, ACHIEVE and SUCCEED no matter what they choose to do later in life.
The Harmony Pledge is a 10 point pledge that we expect every pupil to achieve by the time they reach the age of 11. Some of them we hope they will achieve more than once.
The 10 points of the Harmony Pledge are:
- Be safe, healthy and happy
- Be a fundraiser
- Be a performer
- Be an eco-warrior
- Be respectful
- Be a volunteer
- Be democrative
- Be an adventurer
- Be an expert learner
- Be workwise
Character Competencies
As pupils engage and participate in The Harmony Pledge, they will also develop some character competencies that will enable them to tackle any problem or situation that arises in their education and life. The Harmony Pledge will help them in developing and being:
- Aspirational
- Confident
- Resilient
- Tolerant
- Creative
- Communicator
- Motivational
- Co-operative
- Problem Solver
- Honest
At Cavendish Close Junior Academy, we use icons to represent each of the character competencies:
All of these attributes will help pupils to be an outstanding character. These character competencies will be delivered and modelled explicitly by all staff through tailored and appropriate activities and experiences.
At Cavendish Close Junior Academy, we pride ourselves on the range of educational experiences our young people get to experience. Where possible, we link these to the Harmony Pledge and character competencies.
