The intention of the Personal Development curriculum at Queen Elizabeth’s is to encourage students to become respectful, reflective, and resilient individuals who make informed choices in their lives to keep themselves healthy and safe, and to develop life skills which will enable them to make a positive contribution to the wider community.

The curriculum encourages students to learn more about themselves as growing and changing individuals within an increasingly complex world. It is inclusive and tackles the moral, social and cultural issues of growing up whilst providing students with opportunities to learn about British Values and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our students are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
