What is character (personal) development?

It is described in the current Ofsted inspection framework as:

  • the school’s curriculum extends beyond the academic, technical or vocational. It provides for learners’ broader development, enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents
  • the curriculum and the school’s wider work support learners to develop their character – including their resilience, confidence and independence – and help them know how to keep physically and mentally healthy
  • at each stage of education, the school prepares learners for future success in their next steps
  • the school prepares learners for life in modern Britain by:
    • equipping them to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society
    • developing their understanding of fundamental British values and appreciation of diversity
    • celebrating what we have in common and promoting respect for the different protected characteristics as defined in law.
