Head of Personal Development job summary

We are looking for someone with a genuine and infectious passion for young people and teaching, who will enthuse and engage the students they teach; someone with high expectations for all students whatever their prior attainment.

The Personal Development (PD) Department is a well-established department which delivers PSHE and Citizenship in discrete lessons and via extracurricular activities.

The focus of the department, as well as fulfilling the increasing statutory requirements of SRE, PSHE and Citizenship, is to deliver broad, engaging and meaningful content that has impact.

The aims of the curriculum are twofold:

• to keep our pupils safe, to manage risk and to make informed decisions surrounding their lifestyle.
• to broaden our pupils’ knowledge and awareness of societal issues; including local, national and global issues and also to encourage our students to become active citizens willing to engage in their communities.

The curriculum is well planned, fully resourced and constantly refined to best meet the needs of students and an ever-changing society and national landscape.
