Personal Development
At Cleves Cross Primary School and Nursery, we aim to inspire children’s interests and curiosity to know more about how to live in the wider world. We want our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of our school and wider community. We want children to learn about their rights and the rights of others, so they appreciate what it means to be a tolerant member of a diverse society. We encourage children to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. We aim to create lifelong learners who understand how to build strong and healthy relationships, manage their emotions and form positive beliefs, values and attitudes.
Personal Development is at the heart of our school learning journey. It encourages and embeds a range of skills that allow children to develop learning for life. As part of a whole school approach, Personal Development supports the qualities and attributes children need to Thrive as individuals and as members of society.

Elvin and Jax did a great job leading their parties and Mrs Brentnall even popped along to check who was more convincing! Fantastic oracy skills on show by lots of children! 👍🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
