HAF Personal Development 

 

What is our Vision and Philosophy? 

At Harris Academy Falconwood we believe that Education always wins, therefore success for our personal development curriculum is as diverse as it is ambitious; we cultivate confident, resilient, and respectful members of our community. The Personal Development curriculum supports students to live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to keep themselves and others around them safe, whilst thriving in an ever-changing, fast-paced world. Our approach is tailored to the context of our community, celebrating equity, diversity and inclusion and enabling students to grow into tolerant, respectful and courageous young citizens, unafraid to challenge injustice and becoming the best possible versions of themselves.   

   

To ensure our vision becomes a reality for our students, the Personal Development Curriculum is woven into all aspects of Academy life and is delivered through 6 Personal Development strands:
