Personal Development

Intent

Our mission for the Personal Development curriculum is to ensure students are well equipped for life beyond school, with detailed understanding of the issues young people face today and how to keep themselves safe on and off-line. We want to develop empathetic and well-rounded individuals who are responsible global citizens that can thrive in the world beyond school and make their voice heard.
