Knowledge and understanding:
Knowledge and understanding in Personal Development (PD) is taught across three strands – Relationships, Health and Wellbeing and Living in the Wider World. Several common themes run throughout Years 7-13:
-
- Recognising and managing feelings about, and influences on, their body image including the media’s portrayal of idealised and artificial body shapes.
- Strategies for managing their mental and physical health.
- The wider risks and consequences of legal and illegal substance use, including on their personal safety, future career, relationships and future lifestyle.
- Developing good relationships and respecting the differences between people.
- Employability skills (including time management, self-organisation and presentation, project planning, team-working, networking and managing online presence).
