Nurturing confident individuals for a healthier, responsible community.
ExploreCurriculum Intent
Personal Development ensures every student belongs to a supportive community where kindness and integrity turn positive intentions into action. We empower students to believe in self-improvement, health, and ethical decision-making. Encouraging curiosity about personal growth and a scholarly approach to wellbeing and financial literacy, students build high aspirations for life. By exploring rights, responsibilities, and future pathways, students become resilient, informed citizens prepared to thrive.
Key Stage 3
1 x 55-minute period each fortnight alongside Citizenship & RSE.
Key Stage 4
Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is mandated in all schools. At Compass, it is delivered through a combination of Relating, Science, PE, and IT curricula, with specialized external support. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from certain aspects of sex education; any concerns should be addressed with the senior leadership team.
If you have any questions about the PSHE or RSE curriculum, please contact phaverty@charterbermondsey.org.uk (Senior Leader of Pastoral). Please note that withdrawal is not permitted for relationship, health, or sex education included in the national curriculum for science.
