Keeping Children Safe & Healthy
Our Personal Development curriculum gives students knowledge of a wide variety of topics to help them prepare for both the positive opportunities they will have as they grow up, as well as the risks and difficult decisions they may have to navigate as they enter adulthood.
You can find a comprehensive overview of Personal Development at UVHS here.
As parents and carers in a fast and ever-changing world, we appreciate that it can be difficult to find up-to-date and reliable sources of information online. The guides below span a wide range of topics and will be updated frequently.
We hope you find them beneficial, and if you have any suggestions for other topics of information sources you would like to see on this section of the school website, then please use the following email address to get in touch as we always value your feedback: enquiries@uvhs.uk
