Personal Development

At Changing Lives Independent School, our vision is to nurture a vibrant, inclusive learning community where every student thrives through the values of kindness, respect, and resilience. Our students’ personal development is at the heart of this vision.

We believe every student deserves the opportunity to thrive and their understanding of self, others and the world around them is key to this.

Our personal development curriculum develops students’ understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. It supports them throughout their growth with us and into their future, enabling them to become safe, resilient, reflective, and active citizens, who can thrive in modern Britain and the wider world.

We place significant emphasis on students’ personal, social, physical, spiritual, moral, and cultural development, incorporating key areas such as British Values, Citizenship, RSE, PSHE, character education and careers education in our comprehensive personal development offer.

The curriculum is further enriched by our vocational curriculum, and our outdoor learning and life skills curriculum, as part of our commitment to providing students with meaningful experiences beyond the classroom, to develop as increasingly confident and independent individuals.
