Curriculum Intent
At Maiden Erlegh School, they reognise the. personal development of students is a fundamental part of our academic and pastoral work. It is their intention to create good local, national and global citizens, who develop good moral character and resilience. To this end, they aim to develop students spiritually, morally, socially and culturally and ensure that they are treated as individuals whilst doing this. They aim to teach students about British values, mutual respect and tolerance.
They aim to develop students in this way through all aspects of school life; curriculum, extra-curricular activities, the pastoral system, assemblies as well as themed events.
The personal devleopment provision incorporates:
PSHE
Citizenship
British values
Careers
RSE (Relationships and sex education)
As well as personal skills that students need to develop to be prepared for the world outside of the school gates including:
Oracy
Debating
Study Skills
They follow the recommendations laid out by the DfE and the PSHE Association. We reveiw and update this each year in line with their guidance.
These sessions will be delivered by form tutors as part of a 1 hour lesson each week. They will build upon knowledge already gained in primary school and be appropriate and relevant to the age, understanding, cultural background and circumstances of the students. They will also reflect their needs in terms of language, learning styles and abitlites.
Behaviour Management
Teachers of personal development need to follow the Maiden Erlegh School Behaviour policy in the first instance. If a student is being highly disruptive and affect the learning of others, then they will need to be removed from the lesson. You will need to email on patrol, NOT head of year, uf the behaviour is persistent then contact the head of year and the head of Personal Development.
There are practical implimentations that you can use to help improve engagement and behaivour management in your classroom during personal development.
Present the Ground Rules Slide at the start of the lesson and remind students of this throughout.
Seating Plans are essential to help support SEND, EAL PP and to help regulate dysregulated students. (Please make sure these are in place and are being used.)

Please follow all Schemes of Work as written unless instructed otherwise by the Head of Year or by the Head of Personal Development.
Occasionally there may be an assembly or workshop in place of lesson which is part of the PD curriculum.

Therefore, it is vital that staff are aware of the signs of FGM and how to report it so that they can protect the pupils in their setting and ensure the safety and wellbeing of those inside and outside the classroom.
Developed by Eyvonne Wood, Managing Director of The Laurels Quality Consultancy, this FGM training course will provide you with the knowledge and awareness to understand the legislation around FGM and how to best support your pupils and wider community.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact the police immediately by dialling 999.
If you're concerned that someone may be at risk, contact the NSPCC helpline on 0800 028 3550 or email fgmhelp@nspcc.org.uk

It is a current and real issue in society and there are a high number of girls that are at risk of this today.
This educational topic is not optional for students, if Parents email to say that they do not want their child to be exposed to this, we must make it clear that it is an unnegotiable element of their education.
