We chose Diseworth C of E School because there is swimming every week. This is great - an important life skill.
From the start of our child's time at Diseworth we have always felt part of the school and any queries we have had have always been dealt with quickly and professionally.
It is wonderful to see all staff happy and smiling whilst the school is going through positive changes of new leadership and staff changes.
We are pleased to annouce that Diseworth C of E Primary School is a Route to Resilence accredited school.
Our Route to Resilience journey started in 2019, on a project led by Steve Harris from Wellbeing Education alongside several other schools in Leicestershire. Within the project, we began to develop ways to create and foster strong “character muscles” in the children to prepare them for life-long learning.
Put simply it is recognising, understanding and developing the character traits that make us unique and then using these ‘character muscles’ to allow us to be the best version of ourselves. At the heart of character education is creating a culture in and out of school where pupils are given every opportunity to rehearse and strengthen their sense of themselves.
There is a growing recognition of the need to equip young people with strong character muscles that will make them successful in all occupations and will help them to develop into healthy and happy adults.

The muscles we chose as a school to underpin our curriculum are:
Honesty Love of learning
Kindness Respect
Positivity Imagination
Communicating Team work
Reasoning Listening
Resilience Concentration
Curiosity Problem solving
Empathy Questioning
Good humour Independence
Perseverence Ambition
Confidence Gratitude
During lessons, the character words are used regulalry and pupils are given opportunities to reflect on which ones they are using, and recognise how to build and apply the character vocabulary in their work at school, at home, and in life. We hope that you will want to help them build these characteristics at home as well. Each child's progress relating to the character muscles is reported in the end of year report for parents.
