Vision of SubjectPersonal Development and Wellbeing focuses on the emotional and physical health of our young people; their understanding of the world as they grow, and their enjoyment of KHS and of teenage life. |
||||||
Statement of IntentPersonal Development at KHS is more than a subject. It’s a springboard to understanding, engaging with - and succeeding in - today’s society. It permeates across the whole school as a balanced and diverse curriculum. It informs and prepares young people for a happy life as good citizens in modern Britain, helping them form positive relationships and make the right choices in life. To do this effectively, we create a safe and secure learning environment to give students the confidence to discuss topics and issues important to them, using a variety of resources to help them reflect on the world they see around them. Primary sessions and the Y7 PD programme focus on transition into secondary school, whilst KS4 Wellbeing is all about preparing for the future. |
