Personal Development at Franche

Personal development at Franche Community Primary School is built upon the foundations of our school values of: Family, Respect, Aspiration, Nurture, Creativity, Heath and Enjoyment.  These are further promoted through assemblies and reflection time alongside promoting and developing pupils’ understanding and appreciation of British Values: The Rule of Law, Democracy, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance for all.

Personal Development in our curriculum
 

Personal development is embedded throughout our whole curriculum.  In addition to this, specific aspects are taught through:

  •  PE and DT promoting healthy lifestyles
  •  Forest School and Swimming lessons

Developing a Growth Mindset

 

Based upon the research of Carol Dweck, within all lessons, all children are encouraged to have a  ‘growth mindset’ in order to:               

  •  embrace challenge
  •  successfully collaborate               
  •  persevere and show resilience.

Inspiring successful futures

Economic wellbeing is promoted through:

  •  Economic PSHE units

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development
 
At Franche Community Primary School we want to give each child the opportunity to explore social and moral issues; develop a sense of social and moral responsibility and promote the British Values. Our Franche Primary School values of: Family, Respect, Aspiration, Nurture, Community, Health and Enjoyment embrace SMSC development and are at the heart of all that we do.

SMSC is the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of the children in our school. This is not a separate subject that is taught explicitly but an aspect of learning that should be present in lessons and evident in pupils’ behaviour in school. Some lessons lend themselves more easily to direct SMSC development such as PSHE, Philosophy for Children and RE. We also aim to develop SMSC through assemblies, visits and visitors, community links, high behaviour expectations and our positive attitudes in school.

Global citizenship is developed through:
