Primary Personal Development

Our Delta Aims

At Delta Academies Trust, we want all of our pupils to become the very best people they can be. We want them to:

become well-rounded, knowledgeable citizens who are as well prepared as possible for life ahead
recognise and celebrate their own uniqueness and that of others
be proud of who they are
confidently communicate their knowledge, views and dreams effectively.

Our personal development offer and personal, social and health education curriculum provide opportunities and learning to help our pupils achieve these ambitions. Our offer opens up a wide range of opportunities, experiences, and activities that pupils can take part and achieve in, that will help them to gather opinions about, and make informed choices about, the world around them.

The Personal Development Framework

Our personal development framework is made up of two parts:

An offer of personal development experiences and opportunities across 16 strands.
The personal, social and health education curriculum – supported by the ‘Jigsaw’ programme and resources.

Delta Stars

‘Delta Stars’ is part one of our Personal Development framework. This allows our pupils to take on different opportunities across the 16 strands and collect different Delta Star Cards along the way. Academy leaders will make sure that each pupil has at least 6 personal development activities/ opportunities each year.
