Winners of Personal Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance: From Values to Virtues Writing Prize Announced
The winners of the Values to Virtues Writing Prize for school pupils in Key Stage 3 and 4 have been announced today.
After receiving a number of very high quality entries, and combining scores from the whole research team, which included specialists in the history, philosophy, sociology and psychology of education, the following winners were agreed:
Key Stage 4 Winner: Finn Lay - South Wilts Grammar School
Key Stage 3 Winner: Harriet Cain - South Wilts Grammar School
1st Runner Up: Sarab Sian - King Edward's Camp Hill School for Girls
South Wilts Grammar School, which produced prize-winners in both age groups, commented: We are delighted to see such thoughtful, compassionate advocates express themselves so clearly and are proud to see them represent their communities with such aplomb.
Principal Investigator on the Project, Dr David Lundie, said: I am very grateful to all of the entries for this prize. Secondary students from across England shared critical perspectives on a whole range of issues, drawing on human rights, intersectionality, and of course sharing with us their personal experiences, reflecting on what their own values mean to them. The winners should be very proud of their achievements.
The winners will receive a prize of £100, and winning schools will receive £200 to spend on teaching resources.
Personal Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance: From Values to Virtues is a research project exploring the impact of schools' approaches to the 'fundamental British values' policy agenda in England. It is a collaboration between the University of Glasgow, Liverpool Hope University and Sapienza University Rome, made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Templeton Religion Trust.
