Personal Development and Well-being

At Gravel Hill, personal development and well-being are central to our curriculum and school culture. We are committed to supporting pupils to flourish academically, socially, emotionally and physically, preparing them for life now and in the future.

• By supporting pupils to become responsible, respectful and active citizens who can play their part in public life as young people and adults

• By developing and deepening pupils’ understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

• By promoting equality of opportunity so that all pupils can thrive together and understand that individual characteristics make people unique

• By developing pupils’ character so that they reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well with others

• By developing pupils’ confidence, resilience and knowledge so that they can keep themselves mentally healthy

• By enabling pupils to recognise online and offline risks to their well-being

• By enabling pupils to recognise the dangers of using technology and social media inappropriately

• By developing pupils’ understanding of how to keep physically healthy, eat healthily and maintain an active lifestyle

• By developing pupils’ age-appropriate understanding of healthy relationships through relationships and sex education

• By supporting pupils’ readiness for the next phase of education
