Personal Development

At Stone Bay School, Personal Development is at the heart of our vision of 

“Getting it right for every pupil.” 

We are committed to supporting the whole child —academically, socially, emotionally and personally— within a safe, caring and inclusive community where every pupil is respected and valued. 

Guided by our core values of Evolving Excellence, Trust, Empowerment, Fairness and Collaboration, we recognise that every pupil is unique. 

As a UNICEF Silver Rights Respecting School, children’s rights, dignity and participation are embedded in our ethos, promoting wellbeing and enabling pupils to develop confidence, resilience and independence.

We place a strong emphasis on Preparation for Adulthood, equipping pupils with the life skills, independence and self-belief they need for their next steps.

Pupils benefit from opportunities that promote diversity and inclusion, outdoor learning, creative expression, physical activity and enrichment beyond the classroom.

Communication is supported through personalised approaches, ensuring every pupil can express themselves and engage meaningfully with others.

Through Pupil Voice, we empower learners to be active participants in school life, ensuring they feel listened to, respected and valued.

Our range of Therapeutic Offers is designed to meet the diverse and complex needs of our pupils, providing targeted support that helps remove barriers to learning and wellbeing.

Our Personal Development provision includes a carefully planned, year-long programme of experience that supports pupil wellbeing, positive relationships and a strong sense of belonging.
