Personal Development
“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
Nelson Mandela
| Curriculum intent |
| We believe our Personal Development curriculum will inspire and guide students to achieve success in the wider world. We will prepare our students for adult life by developing their confidence, sense of responsibility and resilience when faced with challenge. Curriculum pedagogy enables the development of students’ respect, acceptance and celebration of the diversity of modern society. Our students will understand the importance of personal, social and health education alongside relationships, British Values, well-being, and the impact this has on their everyday lives. |
| Powerful knowledge in Personal Development |
| Personal Development encompasses PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) and is central to all aspects of student learning at Breckland School, both in the classroom and beyond. From September 2020 the secondary Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) (secondary) aspects of PSHE education was made compulsory in all schools. Through the PD curriculum we aim to: Develop students’ understanding of the world and of personal, social, health, emotional and citizenship concepts and relevant vocabulary Provide students with a relevant, age appropriate and broad curriculum Understand issues relating to their own health, personal care, sexual development and relationships Enable students to make positive life choices Provide students with strategies to maintain personal wellbeing, promote resilience and equip students with skills to keep themselves and others safe Promote an atmosphere celebrating equality and diversity Enable learners to form appropriate relationships and give them a sense of dignity and respect for each other Develop personal responsibility, self-confidence and assertiveness Empower learners so they have more control over their own life Enhance their self-esteem Develop students’ understanding of the British Values Provide students with a range of career ideas to broaden their horizons for post-16 |
| Curriculum Features |
| The PD curriculum is always being adapted to suit our students in the modern day. It is taught through fortnightly lessons and weekly in mentor teams. Due to its nature, PD is seen in every subject across the school. Students are continuously working on developing and learning valuable life skills. The PD curriculum takes a spiral approach, gradually revisiting topics at a deeper level at each key stage or year group, whilst rehearsing, emphasising and embedding the essential skills and attributes young people need to manage their lives, both now and in the future. |
