Personal Development at Spa Camberwell
Our Personal Development program is designed to meet the unique needs of our students. Through it they build confidence, resilience, and skills for the future. Our students thrive academically and grow socially, emotionally, and vocationally.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
At Spa School Camberwell, we create an environment where students feel safe, valued, and supported. Our commitment to inclusion, respect, and individual growth allows every student to achieve their full potential.
Key Elements of Our Personal Development Program:
- Individualised Support
Each student’s journey is personalised to include strengths and interests. We work with pupils, families and specialists to create approaches that supports academic, social, and emotional development. - Developing Social Skills
Students are encouraged to build friendships and they learn to collaborate. They appreciate the value of teamwork and respectful communication and they develop a sense of belonging. This is promoted through all aspects of school life as well as through PSHE and Social Communication lessons. Social Communication is unique to Spa School and focuses specifically on directly teaching the skills needed to be effective members of the community both in and beyond Spa. - Emotional Wellbeing:
We understand the importance of emotional resilience. Our students benefit from mindfulness sessions, therapeutic activities, and emotional regulation support, helping them navigate challenges and express themselves confidently. - Vocational Training & Life Skills:
We provide opportunities for students to engage in practical learning experiences, from basic life skills to vocational training. This prepares them for independent living and future work placements, helping them gain essential skills for adulthood. - Inclusive Activities:
Our approach includes a range of inclusive extracurricular activities. These experiences are designed to boost self-esteem, enhance problem-solving abilities, and create lasting memories that enrich our students' lives. - Regular Reflection
Students are encouraged to regularly reflect on their goals and achievements. Pupils recognise their personal growth and development. We dedicate time every day for reflection and to celebrate success in our end of day review.
