💡 Word to the Wise: Recognising Your Strengths

This week, pupils will reflect on their individual strengths and consider how these can help them make informed choices about their future.
They will learn that valuable skills are developed not only through paid employment, but also through lessons, hobbies, caring responsibilities, volunteering and everyday experiences. Pupils will be encouraged to identify one of their strengths and give a real example that demonstrates it.

This supports our Personal Development provision by developing self-awareness, confidence and employability skills. It also links directly to our Planning for My Future strand, helping pupils recognise the qualities they can bring to future courses, training and employment.
