Personal Development at The Lea

We understand that we have an incredibly important role to play as educators – providing for our children’s personal development. Personal development involves the entire world of a child and permeates through all that we do and all elements of our curriculum. It extends well beyond the classroom and academic learning. With the aim that children have a high quality provision which encourages, develops, enables and supports all:

• To be responsible, respectful and active citizens
• To be physically and mentally healthy and have strategies to manage their health and wellbeing
• To understand British values and how to contribute to life in British society
• To understand personal traits and character and how these can positively influence motivation and conduct
• To behave with integrity and understand deeply the school values of pride, ambition, kindness and respect
• To understand healthy relationships and how to stay safe in the modern world
• To be respectful and tolerant of differences and promote inclusivity, equality and equity
• To explore talents and interests
• To be ready to move to the next phase of education
