Assessment and impact measurement
Personal Development helps pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepared for life and work with an impact on academic and non-academic outcomes.
Measurable impact in Personal Development is vital because it transforms vague intentions into concrete progress. Tracking quantifiable metrics prevents endless striving, provides undeniable proof of growth, and enables us to make data-driven adjustments to our strategies, ultimately building a bespoke, future proof programme of study for our pupils to follow.
