Personal Development permeates through every aspect of school life here at Woldgate School, including our curriculum, culture and ethos, pastoral care and enrichment.
Our aim is to ensure our curriculum, and wider work supports pupils to be confident, resilient and independent – to develop great character. We are passionate about providing high quality pastoral support and ensuring pupils are well prepared for their future lives, including how to eat healthily, how to maintain an active lifestyle, and mental wellbeing and to ensure pupils have an age-appropriate understanding of healthy relationships and protected characteristics.
We prepare pupils for life in modern Britain effectively, developing their understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. Our school provides pupils with meaningful opportunities to understand how to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society. Pupils know how to discuss and debate issues and ideas in a considered way.
We promote equality of opportunity and diversity effectively and develop appreciation and respect of differences in the world and its people, celebrating the things we share in common across cultural, religious, ethnic and socio-economic communities. We enable pupils to engage with views, beliefs and opinions that are different from their own in considered ways. They show respect for the different protected characteristics as defined in law and no forms of discrimination are tolerated.
