Personal Development at King Charles I School is built upon our four school values of Ambition, Commitment, Creativity and Integrity. Our programme of Personal Development transcends across all aspects of our school life and is comprised of, but not limited to, our Ethics Curriculum, Tutor Programme, Careers and Work Experience, Character Academy and Pastoral Support. Personal Development at King Charles I School develops our students into active, well-rounded citizens who promote equality and tolerance and are equipped with the skills they need to embark upon a happy, healthy life as a young adult.

Our comprehensive tutor programme gives students a safe space throughout which they learn about British Values, citizenship, careers and topics that are prevalent in modern society. In addition, we regularly welcome external specialist speakers in from a wealth of charities and organisations to inspire and inform our students’ social, moral and cultural awareness, as well as having regular charity foci throughout each year for students to volunteer support.

Through our Character Academy programme, we provide our students with an extensive programme of extra-curricular activities and clubs as well as having Inspiration Week where students take part in activities that challenge and develop their teamwork, tenacity and resilience. Throughout all these opportunities, students develop a sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
