Personal Development

At Throston Primary School our curriculum extends beyond the academic to support our pupils as they develop as people.  We seek to develop and celebrate their interests and talents; to  strengthen their resilience, confidence and independence; to ensure they learn how to keep healthy and develop as responsible, respectful and kind citizens. 

As part of this, we offer enrichment opportunities throughout their time with us and celebrate this through the '50 Things to Do Before You Go to Secondary School' passport, where pupils can record their experiences and celebrate their achievements.
