Personal Development Aims
The Roundhill Academy Personal Development intent is based around our whole school values to nurture, enrich and inspire our students.
We aim to interweave our taught PSHE curriculum; tutor programme and assemblies to ensure that students are provided with the information, advice and support they need to keep themselves healthy, safe and prepared for life and work.
Our INTENT is to ensure that we build students’ knowledge of how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way.
Our PSHE curriculum is mapped to ensure that students’ understanding of how to develop health, with a focus on risk areas such as drugs and alcohol and develops healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds and introduce knowledge about intimate relationships and sex.
What we do as a school:
We work intuitively with our Safeguarding team and strategic SEMH group to ensure that we are regularly identifying local priorities which enables us to update and shape our PSHE curriculum as a result.
Our Personal Development programme is delivered sensitively and inclusively, with respect to the backgrounds and beliefs of pupils but always with the aim of providing pupils with the knowledge they need of the law. We prioritise the development of students’ knowledge about mental wellbeing and develop capability to take care of themselves and receive support if problems arise. We foster student wellbeing and develop resilience and character that is fundamental to students being happy, successful and productive members of society.
We aim to develop personal attributes including kindness, integrity, generosity, and honesty and contribute to the development of SMSC and promotion of British Values amongst students.
Personal Development and SEND:
We operate a graduated approach to intervention which supports our students to ensure everyone can access our provision. We meet the needs of pupils with SEND, developing student’s knowledge, skills and abilities to apply what they know and can do with increasing fluency and independence.
