Personal Development
At Thomas Whitehead Academy, staff, governors, children and parents work together in partnership to create a warm, caring, family atmosphere in which all pupils flourish and let their light shine.
Personal development is at the heart of all that we do. A range of additional opportunities enrich learning taught from Early Years and through to year 6. We help pupils develop their own character, to know that individual differences should be valued, to be resilient, reflective, to have empathy and respect for one another.
Through our taught curriculum for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RHSE), we teach pupils to recognise and manage online and offline risks. We teach them about healthy relationships. Personal development is interwoven through our curriculum and all that we do ensuring that all pupils to be ready for their next stage in education. You can be see this in our Personal Development Overview below.
