Help children understand that respect is shown through everyday choices, words and actions.

This complete, ready-to-teach KS2 character education unit explores respect for other people, respect for yourself, respect for difference and respect for the world around us. Pupils learn how respectful behaviour strengthens relationships, creates safer classrooms and helps everyone feel valued.

The pack contains 30 files, including a launch assembly, six no-prep Circle Time sessions lasting 10–15 minutes, and six complete 40–45 minute lessons, all with presentation decks. It also includes a Teacher Guide, Knowledge Organiser and Pupil Reflection Journal.

Written in accessible, child-friendly language for Years 3–6 and built on the Jubilee Centre Framework for Character Education.

The complete Verity Character Education schemes are also available as a full-year KS2 bundle and as a KS3 programme, creating a clear primary-to-secondary pathway.
