Personal Development

Remarkable Curriculum

At Ripley Academy our Personal Development curriculum is led by Mrs Tollervey. Mrs Tollervey has worked tirelessly to ensure our students are well supported in all areas of personal growth with a curriculum which goes beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum. Taught in a timetabled lesson, our curriculum intent model for Personal Development can be found below.

The school fully respects that some parents and students may have their own particular convictions and if these are incompatible with the content of RSE lessons, then arrangements can be made to withdraw your child from these. Please contact the Headteacher, in writing, if you need to make this request.
For any additional information on our Personal Development curriculum please contact ltollervey@ripleyacademy.org
