Welcome to your Character at Home Pupil Passport
‘Crisis doesn’t create character, it reveals it’
We are an Academy of Character and Excellence. We provide a unique and extraordinary experience
that sets us apart: locally, nationally and internationally. We give opportunities to develop the
character of our pupils no matter what the circumstances. We have created the character at home
passport and have developed a full range of assemblies, TED talks, enrichment activities, leadership
opportunities and Character lessons in order to continue to develop you into well-rounded
individuals in these extraordinary times.

You will use this passport in order to keep track of all your character development which takes place
at home. Every time you complete one of the Character at Home activities, it should be logged in
your passport. You should also use the table on the next page to tick off each activity and track your
progress towards your bronze, silver and gold Character at Home certification levels. Don’t forget
to sign off on your pupil passport when completed and get your parent/carer to as well!
