The Learning Community Trust is undertaking a major programme of IT systems upgrades and improvements between 30 July and 7 August. These essential works will help improve the security, reliability and resilience of Trust systems and communications services.
During this time, there will be no web forms active on any of our website, and our phone systems may be unavailable.
Curriculum intent, implementation, and impact
Personal Development equips students with the knowledge, skills and values needed to stay safe, form healthy relationships, participate in society and prepare for independent adulthood. The programme reflects students’ age, context and emerging needs.
Personal Development is a statutory curriculum entitlement rather than a standalone qualification. It includes relevant relationships, health, citizenship, safeguarding and preparation-for-adulthood content.
Opportunities may include external speakers, workshops, cultural visits, community projects, financial education and practical preparation-for-adulthood activities.
Careers learning in this subject contributes to Kickstart’s wider careers programme and the Gatsby Benchmarks. Through our work with Future Focus, students receive individual support to explore suitable pathways, make applications and prepare for a positive post-16 transition. Personal Development supports employability through communication, reliability, financial awareness, respectful behaviour, teamwork and informed decision-making.
