PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
We believe that every child and young person at the Aylesbury Vale Academy, regardless of their background, ability or circumstances can thrive and succeed here.
We wish for our students to aspire to be the very best version of themselves, and we aim to develop their personalities, life skills and enable them to be fully equipped for life beyond school. We strive to do this through a broad, rich and ambitious personal development programme which enables our children and young people to:
- Thrive and succeed.
- Be respectful.
- Aspire to the very best that they can be.
- Show resilience in dealing with challenging situations.
- Make good choices that fulfill their ability to uphold fundamental British Values.
Personal development covers a wide range of areas but can be summarised as being delivered through the following:
ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES
