Personal Development

At The Roundhill Academy all students study Personal Development in Key Stage 3 and Key stage 4.  We intend to support the development of each student so they mature into responsible, thoughtful and caring young adults to take their place in local, national and international communities with confidence and an awareness of equality and diversity.

Topics covered in Personal Development are detailed below
