ExplorePersonal Development & Enrichment Training
Personal development is now a core part of how schools are inspected, covering everything from character and citizenship to enrichment and preparing pupils for life. But it’s easy to do lots and evidence little. This training helps your staff strengthen personal development and show its impact clearly.
Below, we explain what our personal development and enrichment training involves, and how it helps you build and evidence a strong offer.
What Is Personal Development & Enrichment Training?
It’s practical training that helps schools strengthen their personal development offer. We cover what personal development means under the current framework, building character and citizenship, enrichment, careers and preparing pupils for life, and how to evidence impact.
We focus on making personal development coherent and demonstrable, and tailor it to your setting and your community.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits senior leaders, personal development leads, and pastoral teams. Trusts often run it across schools to strengthen and align their offer.
Many schools ask for it to strengthen personal development, build a coherent enrichment offer, or evidence impact for inspection.
