The aim of our Personal development programme is to enable students to develop holistically. Supporting their transition to adult life and guiding them from dependence to independence, by equipping students to improve themselves and understand others. At the end of KS5, many of our students will leave home for the first time as they pursue higher education or careers. We take great pride in the quality of our provision, and we are passionate about ensuring our students feel inspired by their educational experience and have gained the knowledge and understanding, skills, strategies, and attributes they need for independent living and the next stage in their lives.
Students have a dedicated tutor who they meet with daily. During this time students are supported through academic mentoring and guidance. Weekly there is an assembly with their head of year. The compete with their tutor group in college competitions and follow a programme to support and enhance the skills and attributes needed to be successful. The PSHE programme has three core learning themes:
Our students have a weekly session, and we actively seek out expert people and companies to speak to our students. We intertwine sessions on the core themes across each term to ensure our students receive an engaging PSHE education which prepares them for life in modern Britain. To ensure our students feel empowered over their own learning, we actively seek their feedback and, if appropriate, we tailor our curriculum to meet their needs.
Careers Education takes place within the PSHCE Programme and appears regularly within the Tutor Programme. Students are given information and guidance to make informed choices about their post 18 options. The aim of Careers Education is to enable our students to make well-informed choices about their career and study options and to be well prepared to make these transitions as they move beyond the College. Students are supported with their UCAS applications and apprenticeships. Students will have a 1-1 careers appointment with our career’s advisor. Students also go on work experience during the summer term of year 12.
