Pupils will be urged to climb trees, build rockets and watch the sun rise under new measures to be introduced by the Department for Education to build character and resilience in children.

In a marked departure from his predecessor Michael Gove’s policies, Education Secretary Damian Hinds will publish a “bucket list” of life goals that school children will be encouraged to achieve every year before they leave primary school.

It comes as part of Mr Hinds’s attempts to push schools and their pupils to view character and resilience as being just as important as exam results and qualifications.
