Personal Development

Personal development at Meridian High School is part of a two phase plan. Phase one of the implementation is a direct response to Covid-19 and the impact the pandemic had on learners which focuses on oracy and reading. During tutor time our structured approach uses a platform called Votes4Schools which encourages students to participate in the topical debate of current issues. Through the sharing of the votes and views our students voices are heard and valued through a range of local and national organisations.

The second phase of the personal development strategy is creating memorable learning experiences for students. From September 2022 all year groups will have a deliberately designed memorable experience supporting their personal growth and providing opportunities to positively contribute to our school, community and society. Underpinned by our core values, students develop knowledge of themselves: empowering them to be authentic, risk aware, and able to make informed choices throughout their adult life.
