Personal Development Overview

Here at New Ford we place high value on children’s personal development which goes beyond the academic aspects of school life.

Intent & Rationale

We want our children through Personal Development to have their best start in life. We are equipping them to be physically and mentally healthy, respectful, independent, courageous, and emotionally resilient individuals; who develop strong core values and an understanding of our school, community, diverse wider world and ever changing society.

Implementation

We have designed an innovative curriculum to support children on their individual journeys to gather additional knowledge and skills that will support their personal development now and in the future.

We provide a wealth of opportunities for children’s personal development and we monitor and tailor our provision according to both group and individual needs. These link closely to our PSHE Curriculum, various SMSC opportunities and assemblies.

Each child has a Personal Development Folder, which they complete regularly and work together with their teacher, to assess any gaps they may have and create their own next steps for the following term.
