We aim to grow our girls into sensible and confident young adults who are not only able to make reasoned and sensible decisions but are also able to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain

Our Personal Development programme has been developed to reflect the needs of our pupils, aiming to equip them with a sound understanding of risk together with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions. Furthermore, the programme builds on the statutory content already outlined in the national curriculum, the school curriculum and the statutory guidance on aspects such as drug education, financial education, sex and relationship education (SRE), careers advice and support, together with the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle.The Personal Development Programme encompasses the following strands:

• Academic Mentoring including the assembly programme.

• PSHE within the curriculum including careers education.

• Personal Development Events.

• Pledge and Enrichment opportunities including extracurricular activities, trips and House events.

• Leadership opportunities across the school and within the SSLT structure.
