Personal Development

 

Personal development at Brockswood.

Personal Development (PD) focusses on “preparing pupils for their adult lives, teaching them to understand how to engage with society and providing them with plentiful opportunities to do so.” (Ofsted Inspection Handbook July 2022 paragraph 292)

Personal Development at Brockswood is focussed on developing the whole child in order that they reach their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. We aim for all pupils to grow into well- educated, respectful, responsible adults who are:

  • Comfortable with who they are and have a sense of belonging
  • Respectful of others and see difference as positive
  • Able to make a positive contribution to school life, the wider community and society in general
  • Happy, safe, confident and resilient
  • Model citizens prepared for life in modern Britain

PD underpins all areas of the curriculum and is therefore taught daily through a variety of lessons and discussion time. Some aspects are taught in Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE), Religious Education (RE), Sex and Relationship Education (SRE), Science, Computing (online safety), Geography, History, DT and PE.
