Personal Development Offer

Personal development at BDA refers to the planned and holistic approach to helping pupils grow as individuals and we want our curriculum to achieve 3 mains goals:

 

Advocates:
We want our students to be well informed and passionate advocates for our community. We are not satisfied with tolerance but create pupils who are proactively inclusive of all members of our society.

Joy:

We want our enrichment offer to match the best UK schools. Its purpose is to enhance students’ access to the curriculum, enable them to have new and novel experiences and create memorable moments that emanate joy.

Futures:

Our offer is also to build student’s aspirations for the future so they are well informed about all their options and pathways.

Please do explore our personal development handbook to find out more about how this curriculum is delivered.
