We at Swanmore College are embarking on achieving the Excellence in Pupil Development Award which aims to develop pupils’ character, value and skills to ensure they become independent, active and responsible learners. This award offers a structured framework to evaluate and enrich our pastoral curriculum. It supports us in developing pupils’ personal attributes and attitudes, such as self-confidence, resilience and self-discipline. With a focus on involving local and national organisations, it helps us to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.
