*Please check our school's social media pages to see our Personal Development in action!*
At Ormsgill Nursery and Primary School, we are committed to providing a purposeful and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for the next steps in their lives - both in their school career and the wider world. We want our children to aspire to achieve and be the best versions of themselves. It is essential that they understand the world they live in. Broadening our children's horizons and giving them the belief that they are capable of achieving great things drives our curriculum. Our Personal Development offer gives the children the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed choices and to be a positive influence in the communities they live in. We want our children to be able to manage life's challenges and embrace life for what it is.
Today's children and young people are growing up in an ever-changing, complex world and living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many exciting opportunities, but also poses challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. Our aim is to develop skills and attributes such as resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, team-working and critical thinking.
We pride ourselves on providing an environment which is safe, nurturing and inclusive, allowing all pupils to thrive and mature into well-informed young people. Our PSHE and RSE Curriculum supports this and we aim to embrace the many talents and interests of our pupils that go beyond the curriculum by offering links with businesses, projects, themed days, educational visits and after-school clubs. Overall, we want our learners to feel empowered by the opportunities we provide for them which will hopefully follow and motivate them for the rest of their lives.
