Vision for our PD Curriculum
We want to make sure our values are a core part of our students’ lived experience at Ercall Wood
Academy. We place a significant amount of importance upon our Personal Development curriculum
with the aims of ensuring students build knowledge and skills and encounter meaningful
experiences in much the same way as our subject based curricula. The curriculum is designed with
the same design principles that underpin the learning journeys in our discreet subjects and place the
same importance on inter-connectedness, progression, enrichment etc.
At Ercall Wood Academy, we promote and expect high aspirations for all our students. ‘All students’
truly means all students regardless of ability, gender, race or background.
We strive to empower our whole community with the knowledge, skills and habits necessary to
make a positive difference to the community and the wider world.
