Court Moor Programmes

At Court Moor we actively aim to teach character and ensure that personal growth is at the core of what we do and not just a useful by-product. We have various schemes that help to ensure our students develop a growing awareness of themselves and their place in the world.  These include Court Moor Character and the Allies programme. 

Court Moor Character

Court Moor Character: at the core of the school are the qualities defined in the Court Moor Character:

• Courage determined, resilient, persevering
• Integrity  honest, responsible, reliable
• Courtesy caring, respectful, considerate
• Kindness supportive, empathetic, altruistic
• Confidence aspirational, motivated, driven

When students demonstrate these qualities they will be nominated for a CMC card and when they have collected three they will be awarded a CMC badge and, if they demonstrate all five, then a gold CMC badge. At Court Moor we see our young people are developing adults and that character is no more fixed than height; we encourage students to reflect and advance these key traits in order to be better people. The Court Moor Character accredits students for who they are, not what they’ve done - which is a vital principle behind it. 

Allies Programme 

The Allies programme is an initiative to ensure that students at Court Moor are prepared for life in modern, diverse Britain. Each term we train up a group of students who act as Allies to actively support minority groups and causes. An Allies session consists of learning more about situations and the lived experience of people through talks, videos and discussion. The Allies sign a pledge and then make a commitment to initiate some activities to promote equality and understanding to the wider school. Students have enthusiastically embraced the Allies concept and we look forward to increasing numbers of students joining this innovative scheme.
