Personal Development

Personal Development is at the core of what we do at Goffs-Churchgate Academy. But first, what is 'Personal Development'? 

The School Inspection Handbook identifies the integration of Personal Development as:

"The curriculum provided by schools [that] should extend beyond the academic, technical, or vocational. Schools support pupils to develop in many diverse aspects of life."

At Goffs-Churchgate Academy, we wholeheartedly embrace this definition. 

For us, Personal Development goes beyond academics; it encompasses the holistic growth of each individual student. It's about nurturing their intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, social skills, and resilience. It's about fostering a sense of identity, purpose, and belonging.  

At Goffs-Churchgate Academy, every student is known and loved. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel valued and respected. We believe that by recognizing and celebrating each student's unique strengths, talents, and aspirations, we can empower them to reach their full potential. 

We are committed to developing well-rounded young people who are not only academically proficient but also socially adept, emotionally resilient, and morally grounded. Our aim is to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and values they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and integrity. 

We believe in instilling a sense of #LimitlessPotential in our students, encouraging them to dream big, set ambitious goals, and strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. Whether it's through academic pursuits, extracurricular activities, community service, or personal reflection, we provide opportunities for students to grow, learn, and develop as individuals. 

At Goffs-Churchgate Academy, Personal Development isn't just a box to tick; it's a commitment to nurturing the whole child and preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world. Join us on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. Together, let's unlock the limitless potential within each and every student. 

Part of our Personal Development commitment is our prioritisation of RSE. Read about our Relationships and Sex Education curriculum on the link below.
