Personal Development Overview
At Forge Valley School, Personal Development is delivered as a timetabled lesson, incorporating PSHE, RSE, Citizenship, Fundamental British Values, and a comprehensive Careers programme. This curriculum is designed to support all learners in becoming healthy, independent, and responsible members of society.
Through Personal Development, students gain a deeper understanding of their physical, emotional, and social growth. The curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to explore, discuss, and debate a wide range of moral, social, and cultural issues relevant to life in modern Britain.
Our approach is centred on developing essential skills and attributes—including resilience, self-esteem, risk management, teamwork, and critical thinking—within both individual and collaborative learning contexts.
