Personal development

Ercall Wood

We want to make sure our values are a core part of our students’ lived experience at Ercall Wood Academy. We place a significant amount of importance upon our Personal Development curriculum with the aims of ensuring students build knowledge and skills and encounter meaningful experiences in much the same way as our subject based curricula. The curriculum is designed with the same design principles that underpin the learning journeys in our discreet subjects and place the same importance on inter-connectedness, progression, enrichment etc.

At Ercall Wood Academy, we promote and expect high aspirations for all our students. ‘All students’ truly means all students regardless of ability, gender, race or background.

We strive to empower our whole community with the knowledge, skills and habits necessary to make a positive difference to the community and the wider world.

Empower

We empower students with the knowledge, skills, habits and routines to contribute positively to the school and wider community.

Respect

Respect is the cornerstone of our behaviour culture, we must respect ourselves, our peers/staff and our academy environment.  

Aspire

We want our students to be truly ambitious and reach for the stars and beyond. We want our students to feel safe to be vulnerable and brave with their ambitions. Each day we facilitate opportunities, in and outside the classroom, to make these dreams a reality.
