Dear Parents/Carers,
I am writing to outline the content of the College’s current Personal Development Programme for Year 11.
In order to deliver all aspects of this curriculum, including the government’s new Sex and Relationships Education programme, we will be continuing with our collapsed curriculum days. On these days, students will take part in lessons and activities with both their tutors and external experts. Careers provision and guidance will also be incorporated into these programmes. A brief summary of the content to be covered can be found below and further details about our recently updated Sex and Relationships policy can be found on our website. We will keep you informed of any major changes to the delivery of Personal Development as all guest speakers and external providers will only be permitted following the most up to date guidance on the pandemic from the government.
