PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
Personal Development Options A separate PDO booklet will be available at the beginning of the Autumn Term.
Students select their own combination of short courses from a wide variety of options. Year 12 Students will be expected to select two options during the autumn and spring terms, one of which will be a physical activity. The facilities of the school make it possible to offer a wide range of activities. Major team games such as football, cricket, rugby, netball and hockey are offered and Sixth Form students form an important part of school first teams in these sports.
Throughout the Sixth Form, students will be encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their own personal development, identifying strengths and learning new skills. This programme of options will help them to gather experiences which will contribute in their development as individuals and assist them when applying for employment or Higher Education. There may be an additional cost to some courses.
Some activities may take place off site and/or carry an additional cost.
