Personal Development

Personal Development continues to be of the highest standard. A new PSHE and Citizenship curriculum is now in place and CEIAG and Post 16 planning takes a highly prominent role within the provision. Tees Valley Combined Authority and Hartlepool LA support us in this area. In addition, the recent Poverty Proofing Audit speaks very positively about PD and Quality of Education throughout the provision.

 

All Gatsby Benchmarks are comprehensively met and we are one of a very small number of schools nationally to have achieved this. We are even outperforming the majority of mainstream schools in this area.
