Part of TEAM Education Trust
Kindness Curriculum
'Spread kindness around like confetti!’ As a Trust we want to encourage students and communities to contribute to a better world through a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. Each month our TEAM Trust schools will celebrate an element of kindness to help our students unpick and understand these attributes to enable them to respond with intelligence. Each month will also be colour coded to represent which element of our resilience rainbow it builds upon. Each month we will aim to give our children experiences from our TEAM 200 booklets which cover 200 amazing things we would like our children to do before they leave school.
See how many of these you can achieve at home too. Here are some ideas.

Kindness Keepers
Children who consistently demonstrate a deep understanding of the different elements of kindness and respond with intelligence to potentially problematic situations will be chosen to become ‘Kindness Keepers’. These students will be responsible for keeping us moving on our journey to creating a culture of kindness across our school. These students have also been part of a personal development with Manoj Krishna (Human Wisdom Project) to deepen their understanding of themselves and those around them.
