Personal Development

At HSAEL our personal development at KS5 is centered around broadening opportunities for all and widening the curriculum to include aspects beyond the chosen A-level options for students. Our aim is for every student to leave as well-rounded individuals, who are compassionate and knowledgeable across a broad range of fields and inquisitive about the world around them. 

PD Sixth Form

PD Area 

Information

Lecture Series 
  • A bi-weekly lecture on a specialist subject beyond the A-level curriculum  
  • Exposes students to diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, igniting curiosity and passion for learning.   
  • Engaging with experts fosters critical thinking, analytical skills, and networking opportunities, essential to become a leader in their chosen field.

 

Breadth Studies  
  • Students are exposed to a super-curricular discipline that they do not study at A-level such as 4 distinct pathways in: 
  • Technology/Computer Science,  
  • Languages and Culture,  
  • Humanities  
  • Statistics/data.  
  • They then apply knowledge learnt about this field into an EPQ (worth half an A-level) drawing links between a topic of their interest and the breadth studies subject assigned.  
  • An example for medicine could be the ethical concerns within medicine (humanities pathway), or the use of innovations in treatment (technology pathway).

Enrichment  
  • Enrichment helps students have a break away from academic studies, boosting wellbeing and engagement with school life: 
  • Sports Leaders Pathway: By combining sports, coaching, and first aid training, students gain valuable practical experience, resilience, and confidence.  
  • Academic Mentoring can help students grow as leaders in the eyes of the rest of the school and take on responsibilities.  
  • Another option is a volunteering placement which can help students gain valuable work experience.
