Personal Development Calendar

Personal Development Calendar 2025-26

Our personal development offer is embedded within our Character Education Curriculum, with carefully chosen character virtues, as well as our Year 2 Leadership Program.

Special days, events, occasions, national and school level – supporting Personal Development and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development ( SMSC ) Much of our enrichment is funded by Friends of School, with money our families and staff raise throughout the year.

These activities encourage children to:

  • Take part in community events

  • Be respectful  and kind to others

  • Have empathy for others; particularly those less fortunate

  • Try hard and do their best

  • Understand collaboration and benefits of working with others

  • Have awareness of royalty and national celebration and mourning.

  • Perform with confidence

  • Represent the school as good role models to others.

  • Have awareness of next steps in their education ( working with older children )

  • Understand the importance of keeping fit and healthy.
