As well as in school education, our subject provides ample opportunity for students to develop via experience of external speakers, workshops and educational visits.
The aim of Personal Development lessons is to nurture our students into responsible and productive members of society. This includes the provision of skills which will enable employability across a range of sectors. In addition to this, during CEIAG focussed lessons, students will be given opportunity to look more closely at specific careers and pathways and will meet and engage with potential future employers.
From Spring 2, Year 11 Personal Development sessions will provide additional time for the provision of GCSE content.
Please also see Policies for our Relationships and Sex Education policy. If you wish to discuss any aspect of the Personal Development Curriculum please contact Miss Killigrew either by ringing school or by emailing [email protected].
