Character Strengths Survey

Our partners at Amazing People Schools (APS) have developed a brand-new Character Strengths Survey to help you gain deeper insight into your pupils’ strengths and personal development. This survey is built on the Amazing People Schools Wellbeing Framework, which categorises 24 character strengths into six meaningful areas:

Strengths of the Head – How I think
Strengths of Action – What I do and how I do it
Strengths of the Heart – Using my feelings
Strengths of Community – How I relate to others
Strengths of Meaning – Finding purpose and connection
Strengths of Self-Regulation – How I manage myself

Using inspiring role models from history and today, APS encourages pupils to explore their unique strengths - empowering them to recognize their own “superpowers.”

Why use this survey?
✔ Provides a structured, evidence-based way to measure character development
✔ Aligns with wellbeing strategies and personal growth initiatives
✔ Offers actionable insights for teachers and school leaders
✔ Reinforces and celebrates the positive impact of your school’s approach

Pilot schools have found this survey to be eye-opening and affirming, with results that reflect not only staff observations but also provide measurable evidence of success.
