In addition to the academic curriculum, the personal development of our students underpins all aspects of our provision. To ensure we are giving our students the best range of opportunities, we are working with Optimus Education / Awards Place and have enrolled on the Excellent in Pupil Development Award (EPDA) programme. For this, our provision will be benchmarked and judged against the following standards and objectives:
The school demonstrates a commitment to promoting pupils’ personal development and skills by working towards achieving the Excellence in Pupil Development Award (EPDA).
The school has robust policies in place that promote and develop pupils’ personal development and skills, including their behaviour and attitudes.

The school actively enlists the support of professionals and agencies linked to national and international organisations to strengthen its provision for pupils’ personal development and skills.
The school promotes pupils’ positive behaviour and attitudes towards one another, adults and their learning.
The school is committed to training and developing its staff to fully support pupils’ personal development and skills.
The school works with the local community and parents/carers to support the school’s commitment to developing pupils’ personal development and skills, including their conduct and attitudes.
