Personal development

Helping every child become World Ready

At our school, we believe education is about much more than academic success.

Our World Ready Personal Development Curriculum helps children to grow into confident, respectful, ambitious and responsible young people who are ready for the opportunities and challenges of modern life.

Through a carefully planned programme of learning, experiences and opportunities, we develop the knowledge, skills, values and character that children need to thrive both now and in the future.

Personal development is woven through every aspect of school life and reflects our vision of helping every child become World Ready.

What Children Learn

Our curriculum helps children to:

  • Develop confidence, resilience and independence
  • Build positive and respectful relationships
  • Understand how to stay physically and mentally healthy
  • Recognise and celebrate diversity
  • Understand equality, inclusion and belonging
  • Make informed and safe choices
  • Become active and responsible citizens
  • Develop leadership and teamwork skills
  • Raise aspirations for the future
  • Prepare for secondary school and later life

 

World Ready Behaviour

Our behaviour curriculum is a key part of personal development.

We teach children the habits, attitudes and character strengths that help them succeed in learning, form positive relationships and contribute positively to society through our four World Ready expectations:

  • Be Ready
  • Be Respectful
  • Be Safe
  • Be Ambitious

These behaviours are explicitly taught, consistently modelled by staff and celebrated across school.
