Personal Development

At Lancasterian, our intent is to provide a comprehensive personal development program tailored to the individual needs of our pupils across three curriculum areas: Pre-Formal, Semi-Formal, and Formal. We aim to cultivate independence and enhance communication skills, fostering confidence and self-belief in every learner.

Our focus on physical well-being  and mental health is integral to our approach, as we encourage a "give it a go" attitude that empowers pupils to embrace challenges and develop resilience. We also emphasise the importance of understanding relationships, helping pupils build meaningful connections with others.

Through our diverse curriculum, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every pupil can thrive, express themselves, and develop the skills necessary for a fulfilling life. Together, we nurture well-rounded individuals prepared to engage positively with their communities and the wider world.

Our intent is to deliver a holistic personal development program through three key routes, ensuring that each pupil receives a tailored and meaningful experience.

1. My Learning Outcomes (MLOs): We empower our pupils by developing personalised MLOs that directly address their unique needs and are guided by their Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes. This individualised approach ensures that every learner's journey is aligned with their specific goals.
2. Bespoke Curriculum: Our carefully designed curriculum encompasses Pre-Formal, Semi-Formal, and Formal learning pathways. Each route is tailored to support the development of independence, communication skills, and confidence, providing pupils with the necessary tools to succeed.
3. Wider Opportunities: We offer a range of wider opportunities beyond the structured curriculum, encouraging pupils to engage with their communities and explore new experiences. These activities promote resilience and a "give it a go" attitude, fostering understanding of relationships and enhancing their overall well-being.

Together, these routes ensure that every pupil at Lancasterian can thrive, developing the skills, independence and confidence needed for a fulfilling life.
