Personal Development
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AT RICHARD CLARKE
At Richard Clarke we ensure a broad, engaging and inclusive programme of personal development that is carefully designed and tracked to provide all children with opportunities that make a tangible difference to pupils learning, development and well-being.
All opportunities are planned and link to our core values, the British Values and our curriculum drivers. Each class has a personal development learning journey log and skills and opportunities are tracked throughout their time at RCFS.
