Personal Development Curriculum (2023-2024)

Moorside Primary Academy

Personal Development at Moorside Primary Academy:

Our curriculum extends far beyond the academic, to allow pupils to develop in many diverse aspects of life. This is encapsulated in our Personal Development Curriculum.

Weaim to ensure that, over their time at Moorside, learners receive a Personal Development programme that gives them the knowledge that theyneed to make decisions, to strengthen them personally and to allowthem to develop their character and personality. Weprovide these rich experiences in a coherentlyplanned way, in the curriculum and through extra-curricular activities.

At Moorside, there are four keydrivers that underpin our Personal Development approach:

 Healthy& safe behaviours

 Awareness of the world

 Character development

 British Values

Healthy& safe behaviours include our PSHE curriculum, Relationship Education, Sex Education, Physical Health, MentalWellbeing and Wider Aspects of Safety.

Awareness of the world includes Economic Understanding, Understanding Media and Technologyand Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development.

Character development includes development of children’s own character and personality, our core values framework, children’s behaviour and wider opportunities for children to engage with.

British Values includes Democracy, Rule of Law, Respect & Tolerance and IndividualLiberty.

Personal Development Curriculum Overview:

Some areas of our personal development approach at Moorside are taught through subjects with their own curriculum, e.g. our PSHE curriculum, or the online safetystrand of our Computing curriculum. Other aspects are taught discretely. The following table illustrates which aspects are taught through which approach.

Personal Development Curriculum – Objectives / Progression of Learning:

Some aspects of personal development – such as the PSHE curriculum – are alreadymapped out in their own documentation. Events – such as anti-bullying week – are thematic each year and do not have year group specific progression. Other aspects – such as first aid – are more progressive each year and have specific objectives and are therefore mapped out here.
