Character Education
At Stamford Welland Academy, character education sits at the heart of our mission to develop confident, responsible, and well‑rounded young people. We believe that academic success and character development go hand‑in‑hand, shaping students who are ready to thrive both within school and in life beyond Stamford.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of organisations, which support character education and development in children and young people in Stamford & Lincolnshire:
