Character comes from the Greek word Kharakter, which means “to engrave with a stick.” At Timbertree Academy, we think of character like a stamp that you use to make an impression in the wax of yourself.
Character Education is integral to the work of our school as we believe in forming well-education and rounded young people ready to take their place in the world. As part of our broad and balanced curriculum, we aim to promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of pupils and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
At Timbertree, our values are at the heart of everything we do.
