Personal Development

Welcome to our Personal Development page

Our Personal Development lead at Beulah Hill is Sara Shokir S.Shokir@harrisbeulahhill.org.uk

We have designed our Personal Development curriculum to support the character development of our students throughout their journey at the Academy. The curriculum is delivered via Tutor Time sessions, assemblies, and dedicated RSHE timetabled input.

We are also meeting all the statuary requirements for Personal Development whilst also addressing contextual issues. Our students are regularly asked for their input about our PD curriculum which we review accordingly.

At Harris Academy Beulah Hill, Personal Development (PD) refers to ‘the development of knowledge, skills, disposition and habits which will promote and support our students in leading health, happy and fulfilling adult lives’. Our curriculum encompasses a wide range of themes including:

· Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

· Relationships and Sex Education

· Social, Moral, Spiritual & Cultural Education

· Careers Education

· Citizenship Education

 

Tutor Time Programme

The Tutor Time programme ensures that every student experiences a consistent personal development curriculum, led by their tutor and supported by their Head of Year and the Academy Leadership Group.

In Years 7 to 9 every week, each tutor group will have a range of sessions:

· A Personal Development session

· Two literacy sessions

· A numeracy session

· Assembly

In Years 10 and 11, each group will have a session of:

· Personal Development

· Literacy

· Careers

· Current Events

· Assembly

 

Assemblies at HABH

Assemblies are an opportunity for students to come together and learn together about a variety of themes. Assemblies are hosted by the Head of Year and led by a range of staff and students. Assemblies will focus on a wide variety of themes such as:

· Our Academy Values (Scholarly, Aspirational, Compassionate)

· Black History Month

· European Day of Languages

· Scholarship and challenge

· British Values

· First Aid

· Safeguarding

· And so many more.

 

Each assembly links to our wider Personal Development curriculum, often introducing, developing or building upon content studied in Personal Development sessions. Our assemblies and engaging and relevant to our students.

Personal Development

The purpose of our Personal Development sessions in tutor time is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to lead healthy, happy and fulfilling adult lives.

We have carefully sequenced our Personal Development curriculum around six core themes:

1. How do we culture respectful relationships?

2. How do we stay safe online?

3. How do we stay safe in our community and in relationships?

4. How do we care for our minds and bodies?

5. How can substance use and misuse affect us?

6. How do we understand and protect our changing bodies?

These six themes address our responsibilities under the Department for Education’s Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) framework and go beyond this by tackling additional concepts and issues we’ve identified as especially relevant to the context and needs of our students at Harris Academy Beulah Hill.

Our curriculum is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect:

· Student feedback through tutor discussions and surveys

· Parental engagement and consultation

· Ongoing changes to national statuary guidance, including the revised RSHE curriculum coming into effect from September 2026.

We are currently reviewing our curriculum and resources to ensure full alignment with the updated guidance, including strengthened expectations around age-appropriate content, parental transparency, and inclusive delivery.

At the bottom of this page, you can find an overview of our Personal Development curriculum delivered during tutor time. We encourage families to engage with this content and share their views.

Since 2020, the delivery of statuary Relationships, Sex, and Health Education (RSHE) has been a legal requirement for all schools in England. The latest government guidance (to be fully implemented by September 2026) strengthens the expectations around how this content is delivered and how schools involve parents and carers in this proves.

You can find the most up to date information about RSHE here: Relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education - GOV.UK

Parents/carers have the right to withdrawal from some or all of the sex education components of RSHE (except for content delivered as part of the National Curriculum for Science).

If you wish to request withdrawal for your child, please contact Ms Shokir to arrange a discussions regarding your concerns. This will ensure your wishes are fully understood, and any concerns can be addressed. S.Shokir@harrisbeulahhill.org.uk
