Wider Curriculum & Personal Development
At Foxhills Infant and Junior Schools, we offer our children a variety of rich, wide and meaningful experiences that have been planned and considered in a coherent way, to promote every child’s personal development.
Personal Development opportunities help to prepare our children for their adult lives, teaching them how to engage with others and play an active and purposeful role in society.
We want our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a global community who understand how they are developing personally and socially and have the confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We expect all children to be able to apply what they know and to use these experiences and opportunities to assist them in leading safe, healthy and happy lives now and in the future.
We provide opportunities for our children to learn about citizenship, mental health and well-being, character development and what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are actively encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
At Foxhills, our key aims are:
-
providing children with rich, relevant and meaningful experiences
-
promoting equality and inclusion
-
ensuring cultural capital supports children to access our curriculum and play an active role in school (and beyond)
-
supporting all children to become secure, resilient and empowered by valuing mental health and well-being as much as academic achievement
