At Ireby, the development of our children's personal development goes hand-in-hand with our school's Christian vision, 'Created to Do Good'. It is also in-line with Ofsted’s recommendations; there are 6 strands of Personal Development that we aim to promote:
- developing responsible, respectful and active citizens;
- promoting equality of opportunity;
- promoting an inclusive environment;
- developing pupils’ character, giving them qualities they need to flourish in society;
- developing pupils’ confidence and resilience so that they can keep themselves mentally healthy;
- preparing pupils for the next phase of education.
Our personal development policy also prepares our pupils for life in modern Britain by upholding our 'Fundamental British Values' as defined by our government:
- Democracy
- Rule of Law
- Respect & Tolerance
- Individual Liberty
These fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK.
Details on what we intend to deliver, our implementation and expected outcomes can be found in our school's personal development policy below. Please also take time to click on the Enrichment document below to see personal development in action - or visit our Social Wall page on our school website.
