Explore the Verity Character Education scheme with this free, ready-to-teach starter pack for Years 3–6.

The download introduces the complete KS2 programme and includes a full sample lesson, What Is Respect?, so teachers can experience the structure, content and no-prep approach before purchasing a complete virtue pack or the full-year scheme.

The free pack includes:

The complete KS2 Character Education scheme overview
A detailed 40–45 minute lesson plan
The matching presentation deck
The Respect Knowledge Organiser

The sample lesson introduces children to the meaning of respect and helps them consider how it can be shown through words, actions and everyday choices.

The complete Verity Character Education programme includes six virtue units for KS2, with assemblies, Circle Time sessions, full lessons, decks, teacher guidance and pupil reflection materials. A separate KS3 scheme is also available, creating a progressive character education pathway from primary into secondary.
