PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

At Fulham Cross Academy our curriculum extends beyond the academic, technical or vocational. We

support our students to develop in many diverse aspects of their life and provide them with plentiful

opportunities beyond the classroom.

 Our Personal Development Programme aims to:

• Ensure that curriculum subjects such as citizenship, RE and other areas such as personal,

social, health and economic education, and relationships and sex education, contribute to students’

personal development

• Develop students to become responsible, respectful and active citizens who are able to play

their part and become actively involved in public life as adults

• Through the curriculum, assemblies, wider opportunities, visits, discussions and literature,

develops and deepens students’ understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy,

individual liberty, the rule of law, and mutual respect and tolerance
