Personal Development Day

The purpose of the personal development curriculum is to prepare all our students with the skills and knowledge needed over and above that contained within our academic curriculum, so that they can thrive as they journey through life; at school and beyond.

We believe that the crucial elements of a young person’s education are the opportunities provided which help them to develop personally, these are essential if we are going to ensure that our students are happy and achieve success in a challenging, complex, and changing world. We hope that, through this process, students can obtain the cultural capital that will allow them to build a happy, fulfilled, and successful life for themselves beyond Bow Sixth Form.

 Every term, we host a personal development day, in which the school and sixth form participate in themed activities, carefully planned and linked to the different strands of the curriculum. 

Bow Sixth Form students were out and about during the day; either in central London solving mysteries with AIM (outdoor) Escape Rooms or at Stubbers Adventure Centre in Upminster facing their fears and growing in confidence with activities such as obstacle courses, and the leap of faith. Our sixth form students showed their usual tenacity and hard-work ethic in every activity they were faced with and did the whole school proud.
