Coach children in values eg fairness in a systematic, layered approach. So fairness in Year 6 evolves beyond Early Years concept of 'sharing' or Year 3 concept of 'letting people join in our games'. Embed in any extrinsic rewards eg recognition in assembly, verbal praise, and intrinsically through reflection eg community meetings, gratitute spaces.
