Where does it happen?
Personal Development happens both in and out of the classroom.
Each year group has a one hour per week PD lesson, short bites in
tutorial time as well as half and whole day activities. Each department
helps in the personal development of our young people through the
curriculum subjects. There are also opportunities for students to
involve themselves in optional extra-curricular activities.
Why do we do it?
We see Personal Development as key to helping young people to develop
key skills, to have aspirations, to achieve their best, to live
healthy lives and to become citizens who can contribute to their
communities and beyond.

What does it involve?
Careers Education
Careers Education is an important element of the Personal Development
curriculum. We help students to understand the
world of work and to acquire the knowledge, skills and attributes
they need to make the most of both learning and work opportunities.
We work closely with the Careers Service (IGEN) and with North Yorkshire
County Council to ensure that students have IMPARTIAL information
advice and guidance.
The Careers Library is open for students at lunchtimes.
Careers Advisers come into school two days a week to meet students
individually or in groups. Students in Y10, Y11 and Post 16 can
request a meeting with a Careers Adviser.

Enterprise
and Financial Education
Enterprise Education can be about business and money, but it is
also about looking for creative solutions to dilemmas, putting them
into practice, dealing with change and uncertainty and analysing
the results. Students also learn to manage their money and finances.
