The Key Stage 4 Personal Development curriculum has been developed to ensure students’ awareness of key issues and to help them make positive life choices in the future. PD lessons are delivered on a weekly basis, integrating RE (the Cambridgeshire SACRE Agreed Syllabus 2023 -28), RSE (the 2020 RSE curriculum), PSHE (the Cambridgeshire Personal Development Framework), CEIAG, SMSC and British Values. Students consider the importance of democracy, the dangers of increasingly risky behaviours, and environmental issues. The themes of Myself and My Relationships, Healthy Lifestyles, Relationship and Sex Education, Safety and Risk and Rights and Responsibilities are developed and opportunities for discussion are encouraged.
Several themed days and visiting speakers are organised throughout the year to ensure the most up to date and relevant information is given to students.
