Personal Development at Driffield School and Sixth Form
We are proud of our commitment to offer all of our pupils the support they need to become positive contributors to their communities.
Our One Driffield ethos and personal development offer encourages, enables and inspires our pupils to be happy, healthy, safe and confident young people.
Through their engagement with our personal development programme, our pupils will contribute to the world we live in now and in the future as employable, active and responsible citizens.
One Driffield
Be Here: Attendance to school is crucial. This is not just to give our students the best chance of gaining great outcomes, it is about the benefits to health and wellbeing and students’ social skills, developing friendships to last a lifetime and accessing the many exciting opportunities available to them in school.
Be Yourself: We aim to develop the key characteristics that make us good people. We want to develop our students into responsible and informed members of the community, who are prepared for life beyond school, and for them to have the ability to have confidence in who they are. We regularly ask: who are you when nobody is watching?
Be Your Best: This relates to how much effort goes into being the best version of yourself on a daily basis. How much effort are we putting into our lessons, home learning, friendships? How do we learn from our failures? It is about having a sense of pride and achievement when things go well.
Believe: We want students to have the aspirations to go on and do whatever they would like to and believe that anything is possible. We set no ceiling for our students; we encourage them to fulfil their dreams and we will support them every step of the way.
Achieve: We want our students to achieve their very best to ensure that all doors are open to them and their opportunities are endless. We are confident that if they do all of the above, their outcomes will look after themselves.
ONE DRIFFIELD: We are on this journey together. We are all pulling in the same direction – as one team – for the benefit of each and every student.
