Personal Development

At the King John School, our comprehensive personal development programme enables students to develop the confidence, skills and aspirations to meet the demands of examinations and thrive in society.

As a result of a comprehensive safeguarding and well-being strategy all students are safe, know how to keep safe, keep others safe and are able to apply that knowledge to assess and respond to new risks. They proactively try to reduce risks to themselves and others.

All students will develop outstanding habits of mind, underpinned by a strong moral compass, which will guide their conduct throughout their lives. They can reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity, and cooperate consistently well to become responsible citizens.

All students are well prepared for their next steps and have genuine choices open to them. This is a result of a highly effective curriculum that provides high expectations and ensures our students gain the appropriate qualifications needed for students to fulfil their future aspirations and improve their life chances. All students secure excellent destinations.

We encourage the growth of all students by;

• Nurturing positivity and enjoyment through wide-ranging academic and co-curricular opportunities
• Developing enquiring minds and a regard for lifelong independent and critical learning
• Developing an understanding of themselves, empathy for and an appreciation of different perspectives
• Promoting positive physical and mental health and emotional maturity
• Promoting kindness, integrity, and aspiration
