Character Curriculum

Personal Development

At Barnhill we recognise the importance of Personal development, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Personal Development Intent

At Barnhill, we plan our broad and balanced curriculum to develop our pupils’ character so that they become respectful and aspiring members of society and capable members of our community. Our wide curriculum is planned to promote their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

Barnhill Changemakers

Changemakers are those that do more for the good of the whole. To be a changemaker takes tenacity, creativity, originality, and confidence. At Barnhill we develop student character so that everyone has the opportunity to become a changemaker.

Student Leadership

We create multiple opportunities for pupil leadership both within and outside the classroom, including leaders in different subject areas, our school council, year 11 prefect system and Green Group. We strive to develop individuals who play a proactive role in providing support for their peers, whilst also representing the school in opportunities where they may tour / interview / debate with attending visitors. We encourage students to develop their personal and interpersonal skills through the wide range of student leadership opportunities.
