Enhanced Personal and Social Education (PSE)
Whilst all our young people will access PSE in school, some may need additional focused work around health and relationships. This does not replace their PSE lesson in school, but will compliment and build on learning and understanding. In S4, the young people will focus on health and relationships.
Personal Development
In S4, the Personal Development Award provides learners with opportunities to continue to acquire and develop the attributes and capabilities of the four Curriculum for Excellence capacities. The main purpose of the Personal Development Award is to provide an opportunity for learners to develop the skills and self-knowledge to prepare them for successful transitions in life.
The main aims of the Award are that the learner will be able to:
develop knowledge of self and their own development needs through self evaluation and review
develop self-reliance, self-esteem and confidence through supported and independent learning
develop practical abilities
develop task management and
interpersonal skills
have an opportunity to maximise their potential
demonstrate and recognise achievement
