Subject Overview

We use the Personal Development curriculum to equip our students with knowledge and skills that are vital to their success as an adult. The lessons take place weekly on a Wednesday to the whole school. It is a spiral curriculum that contains the RSE curriculum as well as other important PSHE topics.

"We use the Derbyshire 'My life My View’ survey annually to check the knowledge of key issues with our students. We then add to the curriculum if necessary any issues that are required."
