Personal Development Activites

From the Autumn Term of 2016, our school day changed to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.  A major part of the timetable change was the additional of a fifth lesson on Thursdays when school finishes at 4.25pm.  This extra hour, which is a key part of the school curriculum, focuses on the acquisition of wider skills where students can choose from a diverse range of personal development activities.  PDA sessions we have offered in the past and / or are currently offering include:
