Personal Development
Introduction
“I have come that you may have life and have it to the full.” John 10:10
Personal Development at EPCHS is part of everything we do. Our aim is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, dispositions and habits to promote and support them in leading healthy, happy and fulfilling adult lives. We are ensuring they are understanding of their safety, beyond the school gate.
This is experienced through our gospel values which define the schools ethos. Promoting dignity and self-worth, recognising achievement, promoting justice and peace, sharing in the life of the community, encouraging tolerance, patience, forgiveness and trust, while ensuring a genuine concern for empathy, cooperation and understanding.
Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, we will as a school provide opportunities to learn more than before and engage in the challenges of a 21st century world with positivity, character and resilience.
For this to happen, we focus on the principles of our intent:
Is it right for our school and pupils – ALL pupils will be engaged through accessible learning opportunities, the culture and aspirations of those in our community are taken account for, it is supportive of families and generations.
It has heart – It is whole school developed, not just singular lessons but holistically developed for the school and its gospel values.
It is coherent – Flow is essential, it is live, pro-active and developmental: as students develop the personal development programme develops with them.
