Personal Development

Personal Development is at the heart of Mill Dam. Our entire school ethos of Only Our Best is Good Enough is built upon a far-reaching and inclusive personal development offer. 

We believe that every child who walks through our doors should have access to not only the best academic offer, but also the best personal development offer that meets the needs of our children and community. Our offer is highly-personalised, highly inclusive and provides our children with the skills, knowledge, support and opportunities to become well-rounded members of our local community, and the wider world. Personal Development is a golden thread through school, interwoven into all curriculum areas through our key drivers, embodied in daily school life and right down to the conversations we have with our children. We aim for every child to leave Mill Dam with the skillset to make a positive contribution and value everyone, and themselves. We deliver personal development through our key drivers of creativity, confidence and caring – all helping to achieve our aim of every child showing Only Our Best is Good Enough.
