Personal Development Programme
Introduction
At Chelmer Valley, Personal Development is at the heart of preparing students for success both in school and beyond.
We believe that education extends beyond academic achievement. Our Personal Development (PD) programme is designed to equip every student with the knowledge, skills, character and experiences they need to thrive in school, within their community and in adult life.
Personal Development is a planned and coherent programme that supports students to develop as confident, healthy, responsible and respectful individuals. It encompasses our taught PSHE and RSE curriculum (see learning journeys below), alongside careers education, SMSC development, British Values, tutor-time provision, enrichment opportunities, student leadership, volunteering, trips and visits, and wider personal development experiences.
Our programme reflects the needs of our students and the wider community while supporting them to understand themselves, develop positive relationships, make informed decisions and prepare successfully for their future.
You can find more information on our PD programme here.

Careers
Careers education is an integral part of our Personal Development programme.
Our careers programme is designed to raise aspirations, widen horizons and support students in making informed decisions about their future. The programme is aligned with statutory careers guidance and the Gatsby Benchmarks.
