Personal Development

Personal Development [PD] and enrichment plays an important role within our sixth form curriculum. Year 12 students get three morning registration periods each week with some sessions dedicated to the delivery of Year 12 personal development. Year 13 students get one morning registration period each week, which is geared towards the delivery of Year 13 personal development.

Year 12 students complete independent Work Experience (WEX) during the last half term of the summer (from May Half Term onwards). Students are expected to complete a minimum of 5 days worth of WEX which is ideally geared towards their future ambitions. Students receive support with contacting external companies, but students are essentially responsible for securing their own WEX.  

Year 13 students also get a fortnightly ‘destination’ session which is completely geared towards ensuring students are fully aware of the different options available to them post year 13.
