Character Education

Character education is about important life skills children need to learn for their spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development. Throughout your child’s journey with us, they will focus on what these skills mean, their importance and how to use them. Our character education teaches the Ilsley Spirit, these skills and characteristics were chosen through a process involving a wide range of stakeholders both in school and the local community. We focus on the Ilsley Spirit during the following programmes:
