The Wider Curriculum and Personal Development is the backbone to our entire curriculum and is designed to reflect the school’s vision and values.

Personal development at Hazelwood is a deliberately planned programme that helps children grow the knowledge, skills, values and behaviours they need to flourish now and in adulthood. It builds character, resilience and wellbeing; teaches healthy relationships; encourages active, responsible citizenship; and fosters understanding of the diverse society around them. Through high-quality PSHE, age‑appropriate RHE, curriculum links and a rich range of extracurricular activities, we equip children to keep themselves safe, manage their physical and mental health, make responsible choices and take part confidently and respectfully in school and wider life.

At Hazelwood, our key aims are:

• Children have opportunities throughout their time at Hazelwood Schools to have rich and varied experiences
• Regardless of their background, children develop their ‘cultural capital’ while at Hazelwood Schools
• Physical and Mental Wellbeing are prioritised as much as academic achievements
• Families are involved, where possible, to support all areas of their child’s personal development
