Personal Development at St. Augustine’s
At St. Augustine’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, our personal development curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child, supporting each pupil in reaching their God-given potential and leaving us as the best version of themselves. We strive to provide pupils with enriching experiences and opportunities they may not otherwise have had, ensuring they are well-prepared for life in the modern British world.
As a Catholic School our personal development in rooted our virtues and the Catholic Social Teaching principles. We also recognise the importance of British values and the protected characteristics to foster respect, resilience, and a deep sense of social responsibility equipping them to contribute positively to their communities. The Five Ways to Wellbeing ensure regular personal reflection to develop a strong sense of self and personal resilience.
We provide opportunities for pupils to take on school roles and responsibilities, participate in enrichment days, welcome diverse visitors, and build meaningful community links. This holistic approach ensures every child leaves St Augustine’s confident, compassionate, and ready to thrive.
